This is the best summary I could come up with:


This week we witnessed the beginning of that management when Anthony Albanese started framing what he might say if the nation votes No on October 14.

The prime minister told the Guardian's politics podcast that pressing ahead with the referendum will have been worth it even if Australians reject the Voice on October 14 because it has brought Indigenous disadvantage front and centre in the national conversation.

To be fair, the PM is fighting to the bitter end for every vote he can get for the Yes campaign, but inside senior Labor ranks there is increasingly a feeling that the response to a No result must be carefully considered and constructed.

He said Australia's Indigenous people are not "yet like our New Zealand friends who have brought the cultures of the Māori and the Pakeha together".

Some have blamed the government for putting forward a referendum that has allowed racism to be given a megaphone, online particularly.

The problems the legacy of colonisation has caused Australia's First Nations people won't disappear on October 15.
