JOURNALIST: So, how will that Committee work?
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, it will be a Joint Parliamentary Committee. And if Yes is successful on October 14, what I've said to Peter Dutton is, we’ll sit down and we'll talk through the process of how it can be moved forward. I want there to be as broad support as possible for the legislation that is carried. I said that to him, and to David Littleproud, back in March, and I stand by that. It will be important and that way, you won't have chopping and changing, in the immediate sense. So, this is a constructive proposal to go forward. Because if Australians vote Yes, on October 14, I believe firmly it will be a moment of national unity.
JOURNALIST: What was Mr Dutton’s response to that?
PRIME MINISTER: Well, Mr Dutton can speak for himself but he responded by thanking me. It was a courtesy, that I was going to say this formally, what I've said in private was going to say public today. I asked him was it okay for me to say that we'd had the chat, he said yes it was. And it's important that people be able to talk constructively.
JOURNALIST: Can I just ask one more question about the Voice. We’re three weeks out, over the weekend, I spoke to a local businessman, he said he had been bombarded by people walking into his shop, saying, ‘You've got to vote No, you've got to vote No, they're going come and take your home, they're going come and take your business.’ How do you fight that fear and misinformation, just three weeks out?
PRIME MINISTER: With hope and optimism. There is a great deal of fear as the basis of some of elements of the No campaign but there's nothing to fear from this proposal. As the Uniting Church have declared in their very powerful video that they've released supporting the Yes campaign today this is about a non-binding Advisory Committee that will just enable Indigenous Australians to be listened to. That's the objective here. Thanks very much.
