Prominent Indigenous academic Marcia Langton has accused some no vote supporters of spreading “garbage”, personally targeting Indigenous supporters of the voice and “swarming social media with bots and AI lies”.

Langton, the former co-chair of the Morrison government’s Indigenous voice design advisory group, made the comments during an event she presented in Sydney on Thursday night.
