Indigenous leader Noel Pearson reveals secret weapons of the Yes campaign

Indigenous leader Noel Pearson believes undecided and soft 'No' voters are the Yes campaign's secret weapon in the referendum for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.

Speaking at The Australian's subscriber event in Sydney, Mr Pearson said those within the Yes campaign must listen respectfully to people with reservations, questions, or concerns.

There has been NO respect from the yes campaign.

Noel said that if the referendum fails, he will fall silent. Come on folks, there is an unassailable reason to vote NO !

These indigenous leaders get rich while the indigenous needy go without

Angry Noel: Sorry pal but the answer is NO!

[johnmckenzie-rmjh]

I have a feeling that someone is going to rig the votes for the yes! Please my dear Australians vote NO in black pen. Thank you in anticipation.

Why is Mr $300 Million not in Jail and his brother too.

[nathantudor]

Bit too late to listen. We already asked, and we’re told we were racist, chicken littles, un-Australian and more for doing so.
That ship has long sailed Noel…

[stephanmaric]

No no and a big fat No to this divisive toxic nonsense!!!

[smdnsnnd]

He wants the voice because he knows he will be the voice...

[lulurosenkrantz]

This creep should be arrested, charged & jailed for corruption .

[jujumaccas]

My not so secret weapon is my NO vote. I’m writing NO in the box. Tough luck, Noel.

[glennsmethurst]

Discussion about detail is “deceptive”
😂😂😂
That’s exactly what Hitler would say

[rapscallion]

Pearson helped write the VTP. and has been divisive and insulting during campaign.
Where did the 500 mil.+ of taxpayers money go, when every social program he ran failed.

[frontman]

Well Noel has certainly become very wealthy via the Aboriginal Industry 🙄

[kerravon]

Pearson sounds like an increasingly desperate activist who sees the looming referendum wall he's about to smack into at 100 Kmph and is frantically trying _anything_ to change course before his yes campaign goes splat.

[grantsapain]

Secret is right. The deception of voice backers is part of the reason support is cratering...

[lollypop]

Noel needs to tell truth....we are NOT voting on an surprise box. I vote NO!

[lappo]

Secret weapon = two ways to vote yes, one way to vote NO.

[russellritchings]

Money, money, money. Is all the voice is about. Money for nothing

[jackturpin]

"We don't want quasi-politicians to shoot off at the mouth or come up with hare-brained ideas". HaHaHa, a perfect description of yourself and the voice Noel.
