SABRA LANE, HOST: There are just 11 days to go until the referendum on the Voice to Parliament. If set up, the Voice would advise Parliament and government on matters affecting First Nations people. It wouldn't have a power of veto. If the polls are right, it's heading for defeat. It was a promise that Anthony Albanese made the night he won the election last year to embrace the Uluru Statement in full. The Prime Minister is in Hobart and he joins me now. Good morning and welcome to the program.

SAM RAE, MEMBER FOR HAWKE: Good morning, everyone. It's fantastic to be here in Sunbury Gumboots Early Learning Centre at Jacksons Hill and to be here with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. It's a very important day, it's the first day of pre-poll voting for the Voice. But of course, as this Labor Government always is, we have a laser-like focus on cost of living issues and their impacts on families, both here and across the country. We're here in an early learning centre today.
