“There’s a different poll every day,” Mr Albanese told reporters in Sydney on Saturday.
“Australians will make up their own mind and I encourage Australians to have a look at the wording that’s put forward, and to talk with First Nations people as well.”
Earlier this week, representatives of Northern Territory land councils travelled to Canberra to deliver
to Mr Albanese and Minister for Indigenous Australians Linda Burney.
It invites all Australians to “right the wrongs of the past and deal with the serious issues impacting First Nations peoples … and unite our country” by supporting a ‘yes’ vote in the referendum later this year.
The prime minister said enshrining the voice would be a positive change and would not have any downside.
“This is all upside and I sincerely hope that Australians do vote Yes.”
“It is a modest reform that will help change the daily lives of Aboriginal and Islander Peoples and acknowledge our place as the First Nations of this country,” she said on Friday.
“We have faith in Australians and now is the right time to let them decide.”
But the federal Coalition maintains Australians are not ready to vote for the voice as proposed, because there are unanswered questions about how the voice advisory body will work,
“It will not deliver better outcomes for Indigenous Australians but it will deliver worse outcomes for all Australians.”
Ms Ley claimed the outcome would be a group of appointed national voice leaders “residing at the top of our system of government with an unlimited, untested ability to interact not just with elected representatives but across the full spectrum of executive government and with supreme authority gifted by the Constitution”.
The referendum is due to be held in the final quarter of this year, perhaps as soon as October.
