      LOL. It's not the past it's the present and we need to do a lot more as a society to close the gap for indigenous people. I for one would be most entitled to be dismissive of indigenous people as I lived in a remote community a few years ago and had my car stolen and house robbed by indigenous teenagers on crystal meth, was also threatened by kids with broken beer bottles. Yet I'm able to understand the realities of historical and continuing disadvantage for indigenous people in remote communities and I do not take what happened to me personally.

But it won't change and in 100 years, they'll be in the same position they've always been in and still blaming whites

    This song does not belong to John Farnham, as he neither composed it nor obtained the necessary permissions from the original creators to perform it. Therefore, he lacks the authority to bestow this song upon the 'Yes' Campaign. In essence, the song does not fall within his purview to offer.

      Please don’t think that; The Statement from the Heart hopes to bring an understanding to Australians from all walks of life and for this reason Farnham is perfect. Even more so than general elections, referendums require as many people as possible to be brought into the tent to find out why this is so important and I don’t think fans of Yothu Yindi need any encouragement especially as Yolngu nations people have been dreaming of this voice for so many decades. My feeling is that there are pockets of Farnham fans that aren’t that much interested in the lyrics he sings - they just love him and they love the way his voice makes them feel. I guess he’s asking them to feel the lyrics as well.

    However with any celebrity of John's status any endorsement of this campaign has risk and consequences, good or bad.

    Our Constitution already is for ALL the Australian people. There is no need to put this "Voice" to parliament in it. This "Voice" divides us from "All being equal Australians", now it will show preference to one part of the Australian demography. That is not what Australia is all about. Okay, so who else, a voice for the immigrants from each of the various countries we have come from, or those who didn't choose to come here, the convict descendants. We need to stop reviewing the past and all the historical mistakes and look to the future, united as "Australians" and proud of it. Australians have rejected most proposals for constitutional amendments, approving only 8 out of 44 referendums submitted to them since federation. $364.6 million cost of delivering the Voice referendum. Stop wasting Taxpayers money, just get on and do the governing, make sure the Indigenous people are well cared for, as well as the rest, the poor, the sick, the elderly, all the disadvantaged people. How about they stop increasing taxing the low-medium wage earners and get the "Wealth" tax up and running effectively.

      Not a true fan if you are surprised by this. John has always been a loving and kind man, and has always shown support for indigenous Australians too, so it's not surprising at all that he is supporting the voice. This is exactly what I'd expect from him, and exactly what anyone who knew anything about him would expect.
      There are a lot of tired old people quoting Sky News in this comments section - most of them whinging about not having any information at the same time as they accuse John of making money off this, even though the *information* that no money changed hands was in this report. If they can't even understand something basic like that when it's told directly to them, why am I not surprised that they can't wrap their head around the information about the referendum.

It's very fitting that his quote from 1988 when he was named Australian of the year was used in the ad too: "we are right to instill national pride in our children, but please, let's make our national pride encompass humanity." That was said with the backdrop of protests of 200 years of dispossession, now 35 years later we have the chance to help make things better.
