I’m not planning to, massive waste of time. I am allowed an opinion here though to be able to express my thoughts.
FWIW… the 1999 referendum was covered by SBS, ABC and Nine to varying degrees. None of them had blanket coverage as per an election and I suppose it’s yet to be seen how much coverage ABC will be doing on the night this time.

I could have imagined this, but I thought the AEC said that there may be limited data on “polling” night (is it still polling night?)
I suspect we’ll know pretty quickly what the result will be unless the opinion polls dramatically change and it becomes closer, It really looks like we know the decision, it will just be a matter of how large. It will be interesting to see how the networks manage their coverage, especially given it’s pretty well a guarantee that there will be scores of people out there more than happy to express their hate-wanked feelings at the coverage online regardless of the outcome.

SBS On Demand launches Voice Referendum with Auslan Hub
Australia’s multilingual broadcaster is keeping the deaf and hard of hearing community informed with accessible resources ahead of the vote on a referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
As part of SBS’s commitment to making news and information on the upcoming referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament accessible to all Australians, the network has developed an Auslan collection for Australia’s deaf and hard of hearing community, as part of its broader referendum coverage.
The SBS On Demand Voice Referendum with Auslan collection includes more than 60 short form news and explainer videos from SBS News and across the network, with new content added daily, and captions where available. In addition to short-form factual programming and full episodes of NITV’s The Point: Referendum Road Trip with Auslan, content with a lighter tone rounds out the offering.
Victoria Hunt, Manager of Access Services at SBS, said: “Delivering accessible content and resources is part of what we do at SBS. In the lead up to this historic referendum, providing accessible information is more important than ever to ensure all Australians can fully engage with the debate and make informed decisions about the nation we live in.”
The collection features:
- SBS’s Uluru Statement from the Heart, re-expressed in Auslan for deaf communities across Australia, provided by Worimi and Dunghutti woman, Haley Martin.
- Newly interpreted in Auslan, The Point: Road to Referendum - Miss Information, hosted by Australia’s number one drag journalist challenges mistruths and goes in search of the facts in the debate.
- The Point’s JP’s History Bites, hosted by Wuthathi and Meriam man John Paul Janke, who reflects on the known and little-known moments on Australia’s path to this referendum.
Stay informed on the 2023 Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum from across the SBS Network, including First Nations perspectives through NITV.
