The No campaign has been accused of asking volunteers to spread “fear and misinformation” and “flat out lie” in an effort to convince referendum voters of its agenda.
Former ACT Liberal staffer Chris Inglis, who ran one information session, told Fair Australia volunteers to refrain from saying they are from the No campaign, as it would “scare people” and “throw them”.
In the recording Mr Inglis told volunteers if callers asked for details of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, of which the Voice is derived, to persuade them to head to the Fair Australia website.
Mr Pearson told the ABC that the No campaign calling Australians and “putting the message of fear and misinformation out there” was a “deliberate tactic”.
“We have to define a campaign that for once says we are rational human beings with positive hearts and we can prevail over the trolls of social media and these kinds of phone strategies.”
South Australian Liberal senator Kerrynne Liddle said the No campaign run by Advance through Fair Australia was not representative of all people intending to vote No.
