The yes campaign is gearing up for a fresh advertising blitz and will roll out a series of nationwide public events, in a bid to reinvigorate support for the Indigenous voice and shift attention away from the parliamentary arena.

The Yes23 campaign will hold large gatherings at the start of Naidoc Week, with leaders believing support will rise quickly once the voice debate shifts beyond Canberra.
