Nathan Cleary has become the latest celebrity to back the Voice to Parliament referendum.
A short video of the NRL superstar was shared to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Instagram on Monday.
‘No voice, no choice. Come on Australia. Vote yes,” Cleary said.
Cleary can be seen in the video wearing a t-shirt with the same colors as the Aboriginal flag, accompanied by the logo: ‘We Support the Uluru Statement’.
The 25-year-old then gives the camera two thumbs up.
The video was captioned: “Vote YES. What a dead-end legend!’

Cleary is the latest celebrity to back the Yes campaign after John Farnham allowed his hit ‘You’re the Voice’ to be used in one of the adverts.
The advert features a family watching iconic moments from Australian history on TV, including Cathy Freeman winning gold at the 2000 Olympics.
It is the first time Farnham has allowed his song to be used for political purposes, with the singer avoiding political and social issues throughout his career.
Other Aussie moments featured in the two-minute advert soundtracked by the song include Kevin Rudd’s apology to the Stolen Generation, John Howard’s gun reforms following the Port Arthur massacre and the passage of same-sex marriage in 2016.
It also includes the government returning Uluru to its traditional owners in 1985, Australia’s 1983 Americas Cup victory and the 1992 Eddie Mabo-led court case that paved the way for indigenous land rights.
