"All of you here in this room across the great breadth of our movement have put up your hand and shown your willingness to get involved.Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney told Labor delegates the Voice was their collective "unfinished business". "Delegates, I can't win this on my own. We must do it together. We need to get out there to knock on doors and have the conversations in your communities," Ms Burney said.

Just four out of 19 closing the gap targets are on track.The government has rebuffed suggestions the Voice campaign is flagging, after some polls have recorded a slide in support for the Voice since the referendum was formally announced.
