I’ll be voting Yes.

For those wanting more clarity, what do you mean? We have been given the proposed alteration to the constitution:

In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia: 1.There shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice; 2.The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to the Parliament and the Executive Government of the Commonwealth on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; 3.The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to matters relating to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, including its composition, functions, powers and procedures.

Wanting more clarity is just a case of people trying to find a reason to vote no.

Not necessarily, I'm grateful for more clarity. Voting yes without any clarity is no better than voting no without any clarity.
