00:21 Today for me is about giving our First Nations people a right to be involved in decisions

00:29 that are being made about them.

00:30 And I think a lot of people really don't know what today is about and I think it's important

00:34 that they really look into what today is about.

00:36 We're here today volunteering for the know but we've been at Currie, I've seen the sits

00:42 a couple of times this week.

00:44 Good crowd coming in at Conston.

00:48 What's your sense of the vibe of the referendum?

00:52 Well, I'm a know-beta as you can see but I think the majority from Currie, especially

00:58 those who have just got here today, are men of know.

01:00 They know what they're going to vote, they come in and they vote.

01:04 We've had very long queues at various times during the morning and all been in pretty

01:11 good spirit.

01:12 We're moving quickly.

01:14 Yeah, and what's your sense of the vote today?

01:19 Well, I'm hopeful but frankly I just find it impossible to tell.

01:24 Lots of people keep their cards close to their chest and that's fine.

01:29 So, there's the odd person on either side that's obvious and they're proud about their

01:36 decision but most people, you just don't know.

01:39 Yeah.

01:40 Thanks.

01:41 Thanks.

01:42 Thanks.

01:44 Thanks.
