Balanced News: Cathy Freeman declares support for a Voice to parliament

Olympic champion Cathy Freeman has declared her support for a Voice to parliament in a video for the Yes campaign urging Australians to vote in the upcoming referendum on October 14. Freeman believes that change is urgent and momentum is strong, and she wants all Australians to recognize Indigenous peoples in their constitution for the first time and give equal opportunities to children. This comes as an estimated 200,000 Yes supporters marched across the country in major cities and regional towns. The upcoming referendum will be Australia’s first since 1999.
