Anthony Albanese shows off new Voice to Parliament slogan T-shirt – as the PM declares Australia will vote Yes in secret recording pledging his loyalty to Labor’s socialist Left

Anthony Albanese has emphatically stated that Australians will vote yes to the proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament in a secret audio recording.

In comments indicating his confidence in the Yes campaign, the Prime Minister reportedly made his prediction when addressing leaders of the Labor Socialist Left at a dinner in Brisbane last Thursday.

“I firmly believe that not only can we do that, but that we will seize the opportunity and vote ‘yes’,” he told his audience in a recording of his remarks obtained by the The Sydney Morning Herald.

Although he has stopped attending group meetings since his premiership, Mr Albanese has vowed to stay true to his Labor left roots and rejoin the group once his term as leader is over.

The revelation came as Albanian debuted a new T-shirt with Voice slogan at an event promoting the Yes campaign in Sydney on Tuesday.

The Prime Minister joined former Liberal MP Pat Farmer as his ‘Run for the Voice’ awareness campaign reached the Sydney Opera House.

Mr Farmer walks nearly 9,000 miles to support the referendum.

Secretary of State Penny Wong could be heard on the recording saying she regretted racist undertones in the criticism of The Voice, especially in the Senate.

“We have seen some racism and aggro. We’re in the Senate listening to (shadow attorney general) Michaelia Cash,” she said in the recording made by a dinner attendee, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

“Sometimes I have to turn around and look at Katy (Gallagher) and Murray (Watt) because I’m so angry.”

The Prime Minister has never publicly questioned his belief that The Voice will succeed, despite poor election results and pleas to call off or postpone the referendum.

A government source told Daily Mail Australia that the leaked audio only further cemented the prime minister’s commitment to the proposed Voice.

“Australians can be confident that what the Prime Minister advocates in private is what he does publicly,” the insider said.

‘He believes in Australians and working towards a better future.’

Albanese was asked on radio Tuesday morning if he had any regrets about the campaign’s approach that led to the referendum, and if he would change anything when he had the time.

“Absolutely nothing in terms of, I’m committed to it. This is a matter of conviction, not a matter of convenience,” he said.

Mr Albanese acknowledged that he has no way of controlling “some of the disinformation out there” but that he doesn’t think this will change the result on election day.

“I am very confident… in the opportunity we have in the future to actually do the right thing and accept the invitation of Indigenous Australians.

Mr Albanese said Australians should hold talks with their family and friends to build support for the Voice, joining Mr Farmer for a small part of the flight surrounded by Yes campaigners

‘It’s really quite simple: if you cut out all the noise, it’s just recognition and an advisory body, so we can listen to Indigenous Australians and get better results.’

Speaking at the ‘Run for the Voice’ event later on Tuesday, Mr Albanese criticized the No campaign for muddying the waters around what he described as a ‘very obvious’ question.

“They want all these distractions. People should read the question to recognize First Nations people through a voice,” he said.

“The clauses that are in place are legally sound and will not hinder the way the government operates on a day-to-day basis. Our Parliament will still be in full control of his destiny.’

Mr Albanese said Australians should hold talks with their family and friends to build support for the Voice, joining Mr Farmer surrounded by Yes campaigners for a small portion of its run.

To all those who think, “Will I spend an extra Sunday knocking on the door?” It must be easier than running 9,000 miles,” he said.
