You’re the Voice: John Farnham lends song to yes referendum campaign – video

John Farnham #JohnFarnham

The Australian music legend has lent his iconic song to the referendum’s yes campaign, backing calls to insert an Indigenous voice to parliament in the constitution. Farnham is the latest high-profile musician to support the referendum, after singer-songwriter Paul Kelly this week released a new single advocating for a yes vote. It’s believed to be the first time Farnham, who is recovering from cancer, has ever allowed the song to be used in a commercial. ‘This song changed my life. I can only hope that now it might help, in some small way, to change the lives of our First Nations peoples for the better,’ Farnham said.
