The Indigenous leader Noel Pearson has rejected John Howard’s call for campaigners against the voice to “maintain the rage”, responding that the yes campaign will “maintain the love, there’s no rage path for us”.
Pearson made the comments on Radio National on Thursday, arguing the no campaign is trying to “divert the conversation into negativity” after leading opponent Warren Mundine claimed without evidence that Anthony Albanese was responsible for unleashing “horrible racial abuse”.
