Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson have revealed how they voted in the Voice to Parliament referendum.
The breakfast radio stars were joined by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Wednesday morning as he continued his media drive to drum up support for the proposed constitutional amendment.
Sandilands revealed that despite being confused by ‘talking points’ from each camp, he voted ‘Yes’ through a postal ballot.
I just thought to myself, voting yes, that’s what I’ll do. “I don’t care what anybody else does, but I just thought I want to… at least feel like I did the right thing,” he told listeners.
He said there needed to be a greater focus on communities where ‘young lads’ were getting into trouble because they are bored.

Asked if the Voice would lead to ‘land’ being given to Indigenous Australians, Mr Albanese said it was ‘absolutely not true’.
“If you actually do things right and more efficiently, you’ll end up saving money because you won’t actually be spending it on things that just don’t work,” he replied.
The radio stars are just the latest in a long line of high-profile Australians to show their support for the Voice in recent days.

On Tuesday, Collingwood’s AFL premiership captain Darcy Moore also backed the proposal.
“I will vote yes,” he told ABC Radio.
