Professor Peter Yu, the inaugural vice president of the First Nations portfolio at the Australian National University, said the Yes campaign needed to do more to build momentum and consistently cut through the uncertainty that had been created.Wyatt agreed, but said he was optimistic the majority of Australians would vote for change. Published opinion polls, however, do not look promising at this stage.
