The no pamphlet: campaign’s voice to parliament referendum essay – annotated and factchecked

REASONS TO VOTE NO – A SUMMARY

This Referendum is not simply about “recognition”. This Voice proposal goes much further. If passed, it would represent the biggest change to our Constitution in our history. It is legally risky, with unknown consequences. It would be divisive and permanent. If you don’t know, vote no.

^{The High Court would ultimately determine its powers, not the Parliament.}
