Anthony Albanese’s Latest Instagram Post on The Voice Backfires: ‘Help Solve the Cost of Living and Inflation’
A post promoting the Yes campaign on Anthony Albanese’s Instagram page was flooded by apparent ‘No’ voters who detailed their opposition to the Voice and asked him to work on settling rising costs instead of livelihood.
The Prime Minister appeared with Noel Pearson at a Yes event at Pocket Park in Summer Hill in Sydney’s inner west on Saturday afternoon.
“Noel Pearson talks about how voting yes is an act of optimism and love,” Albanese wrote alongside a series of photos from the event.
“A lovely afternoon with him and the local community as he returns to Summer Hill in my electorate.”
But hundreds of No voters commented under the post, outlining their opposition to the Labor Party’s official policy of supporting Vote for Parliament.

“An undivided country and equality for all Australians is the right and decent thing to do,” one wrote.
‘No different rules should apply to anyone. Vote no.’
Many apparent No voters were keen to emphasize that their position was not racist.
“There is absolutely no shame in voting NO,” wrote one.

However, there were some Yes supporters scattered among the commenters
‘No racism, no bigotry and no stupidity! I am proud to be a NO voter because it is the right thing to do for Australia.”
Another said: ‘Vote no to division, vote no to racism, vote no to loss of equality and human rights.
“We are all human, we are all equal and we should be the same in the eyes of the law.
Mr Albanese reportedly told attendees at the Summer Hill event that the Voice was ‘just an advisory body, nothing scary’
“They are using your kind and good intentions to further racial division and the culture of victimhood. That’s the worst thing you can do for Indigenous people, the worst thing you can do for non-Indigenous people, the worst thing you can do for Australia.”
Another asked: ‘Any chance you could walk to Parliament House and help sort out the cost of living and inflation!?’
However, among the many No supporters, there were some who spoke out in favor of the Yes campaign.
“Yes is much more positive and inclusive!” wrote one.
‘Two great leaders there, promoting love, friendship and reconciliation. How can anyone say no to that. Vote YES,” said another.
Mr Albanese reportedly told the crowd at Summer Hill that the Voice was about ‘allowing advice to be given by people directly affected, Indigenous Australians, to Parliament and to Government on matters that affect their lives’.
‘Just an advisory body, nothing scary. Nothing you would be afraid of,” he said.
“What we know is that until now, with the best of intentions, parliaments have done things for or to Indigenous Australians, not with them.”
