Julie Bishop was in Perth supporting a Yes vote… there are good people prepared to cut through the bullshit being spread by Dutton.

Really good to see some positive media about this referendum, hopefully reaches alot of people and changes some minds.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Through 38C winter heat in Western Australia to icy conditions in Tasmania, Farmer says his latest ultramarathon effort is teaching him something about the cause he’s running for – support for the Indigenous voice to parliament.

Farmer, Liberal member for the Sydney seat of Macarthur from 2001-10, is most of the way around the nation in his massive effort in support of the referendum, a 14,400km undertaking.

Farmer says he’s appreciative of the support from politicians and the public alike, as he strikes up conversations about the referendum and Indigenous affairs as he passes through towns on his travels – but wasn’t quite as glowing about his former Coalition colleagues.

With the exception of several Coalition colleagues including Julian Leeser and Ken Wyatt, who he praised for their “great integrity”, Farmer is scathing of many conservative politicians.

Early Monday morning, Farmer joined Labor MP Andrew Leigh and dozens of Canberra locals for a lap around part of Lake Burley Griffin, as his run made it to the Australian Capital Territory – expected to be a strong backer of the referendum.

Leigh joked that the trot around part of Lake Burley Griffin was “something terrible” for Farmer: “A 5km run that will get him no closer to his destination.”
