Australians overwhelmingly want the Voice to succeed. They want First Nations people to have a say on government decisions that shape their future. They want a new federal body to make this happen, and are willing to amend the Constitution.

These are essential findings at the start of a tortured journey to a successful referendum that is now within sight after years of argument about fairness for Indigenous Australians.

The Resolve Political Monitor asked voters their views on the exact wording of the Voice proposal aired by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in July and found 64 per cent support to a “yes” or “no” question.

Indigenous Australians minister Linda Burney has revealed the government is looking at modernising laws that govern how the Yes and No cases are communicated to Australians.

Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney has foreshadowed the government will overhaul outdated laws governing how to hold referendums before the national vote on whether to enshrine a Voice to parliament in the Constitution.

As the first nationwide advertising campaign promoting a Yes vote launched on Monday, Burney outlined the challenge of amending the Constitution for the first time in 45 years but said she believed Australians were ready to embrace “this once in a generation opportunity”.

“I want to make sure that the Voice to parliament isn’t my proposal, it’s our proposal. It’s Australia’s proposal. We know how hard it is to get a referendum up,” he told 4BC radio.

Burney noted in her speech that the youngest Australians to have last voted in a successful referendum would be 64 years of age next year.

The last referendum was the 1999 republic vote, a time in which many Australians did not have access to the internet and mass social media did not exist.

“It’s been 23 years since Australia last held a referendum [and] 45 years since the last successful one – by far the longest period Australia has gone without amending our Constitution,” Burney said.

It's a big call, I know.

But let me explain.

The latest Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report has just come out, and it's got some really good news.

We've slashed our state's emissions by almost 30% since 2005 - double our target.

It shows that our plans are working.

We're building wind farms and putting more solar on rooftops to bring down costs for Victorians.

There's much more to do, which is why we were one of the first places in the world to legislate a net-zero by 2050 target.

But if this isn't an exciting graph, then I don't know what is. May be an image of text that says "This is the most exciting graph you will see all day. 40% 20% VICTORIA'S POPULATION 0% -20% 1990 VICTORIA'S EMISSIONS 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020"
