Dear <<First Name>>,
I am writing to advise you there will be a referendum held on Saturday, 14 October 2023. Voting in a referendum is compulsory.
Information regarding polling places, early voting centres can be found at:
www.aec.gov.au/early or by calling 13 23 26.
Postal voting is also available. You can apply online at www.aec.gov.au/pva or by calling 13 23 26. Complete your application for a postal vote so it reaches the AEC by no later than 6pm on the Wednesday before the voting day.
This Referendum is about something very simple – listening.
We all know Australia is one of the best countries in the world – but we also know not everyone is getting the same opportunities.
The current system isn’t working because instead of listening, Australia has been making assumptions about what First Nations people need.
This means too many Indigenous people are being left behind and don’t have the same chances as everyone else – with lower life expectancy, higher rates of disease and infant mortality, and fewer opportunities for education and training.
When governments listen to people about issues that affect them, they make better decisions, get better results and deliver better value for money.
It’s time to listen by saying YES to a Voice.
I will be voting YES.
Yours sincerely
Anne Stanley MP
Member for Werriwa
