The AFL will not allow the government to use its Grand Final day to promote its proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
The decision comes despite the AFL being among several major sporting bodies to support the Voice including Tennis Australia, Cricket Australia and the NRL which has sold about $400,000 worth of advertising space during its finals series to the Yes camp.
The AFL Grand Final will not feature any Voice to Parliament campaigns despite its public support for the constitutional change. Picture: Michael Dodge/Getty Images “People just want to watch the footy, they just want to watch the Grand Final they don’t need to be lectured on how they’re going to vote that’s their own choice and they’ll make that on the 14th of October.”
“They do a superb job to promote all charities everything that life is about and it’s a real community feel so I understand if it is disappointing for some but for me personally I know they do a lot in other areas to support everybody.”
