The Indigenous Australians minister, Linda Burney, asked the opposition to “meet us halfway” and support the changes, claiming the government had already made a “significant concession” by reinstating the official information pamphlet.Ever since Halo Infinite was released last November 2021, a lot of players have been complaining that the Campaign mode is as problematic as the online Multiplayer. Price, appearing on the ABC on Monday, said those two requests were “the line” for the Coalition’s support. The Coalition says it will vote against amendments to the Referendum Machinery Provisions Act unless the government sets up and funds official yes and no campaign bodies with public money. Guardian Australia understands Joyce will campaign strongly for a no vote in the referendum. They will join Recognise board member and former Labor minister Gary Johns and conservative broadcaster Alan Jones for what Hanson described as the launch of “a bipartisan campaign for the no vote”. Hanson and Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce will headline a Recognise a Better Way event in Tamworth later this month. Mundine, a Bundjalung, Yuin and Gumbaynggirr man, and Nationals senator Jacinta Price, a Warlpiri woman, will lead a nationwide speaking tour to rally against the voice. He said the party was devising a grassroots campaign to oppose the referendum. Huxham wrote that One Nation wanted to “get other political parties to capitulate and join us in defeating the voice”. “It is good fortune that One Nation, as a registered political party, offers tax deductibility on donations (seek your accountant’s advice),” the email read. The opposition leader, Peter Dutton, said last month that the no side should be treated the same as the yes campaign. Numerous federal Coalition politicians have also complained about the no side not being listed for DGR. Research fellow John Storey accused the government of a “continual stacking of the deck”. In December, the Institute of Public Affairs claimed the government “refused” to provide DGR status or assurances to the no side. The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) told Guardian Australia it couldn’t comment on the circumstances of any charity, but noted leading no groups Recognise a Better Way, Fair Australia and Advance Australia were not listed on the charity register.Īn ACNC spokesperson pointed to the Australian Business Register, which notes that both Recognise and Advance are “not entitled to receive tax-deductible gifts”.Īn Australian Taxation Office spokesperson said it could not comment on tax affairs of any entity, due to confidentiality obligations.Ī spokesperson for Advance told Guardian Australia it hasn’t sought DGR status, but “we’re not ruling it out”. “We believe that it is discriminatory to list a pro-voice body but not one which opposes the changes being put at the upcoming referendum and as such request your serious consideration of this request,” Mundine wrote.ĭespite numerous public complaints from voice opponents about the yes side being granted that status, the no side had not previously applied for DGR status. In the letter to Chalmers, obtained by Guardian Australia, Mundine asks for the Recognise a Better Way campaign, which is registered as the Voice No Case Committee, to be listed for DGR status for the same timeframe as AICR. Mundine wrote to the federal government on Monday about extending DGR status to his organisation, so it can begin collecting tax-deductible donations before the referendum due later this year. At the time, Mundine – the leader of prominent no group Recognise a Better Way – said groups against the voice were discussing DGR applications and called for the no campaign to get the same tax-deductible status. The measure was expected to cost under $800,000. The budget approved AICR for DGR status for donations made between July 2022 and June 2025.
