Anthony Albanese has insisted that Australians will vote Yes to the Indigenous voice proposed in Parliament in a secret audio recording.

In comments that indicate his confidence in the Yes campaign, the Prime Minister is said to have made his prediction while addressing the leadership of the socialist left Labor at a dinner party in Brisbane last Thursday.

“I firmly believe that not only will we be able to, but we will rise to the occasion and vote Yes,” he told his audience in a recording of his remarks obtained by the Sydney Morning Herald.

Although he has not attended factional meetings since becoming prime minister, Mr Albanese has pledged to stay true to his left-wing Labor roots.

Foreign Secretary Penny Wong was heard on the recording saying she lamented the racist overtones in the Voice’s criticism, particularly in the Senate.

A secret recording allegedly caught the Prime Minister speaking at a dinner party at the National Labor Conference in Brisbane last Thursday

“We saw some of the racism and aggro. We sit in the Senate and we listen to (shadow attorney general) Michaelia Cash,’ she said in the recording made by a dinner attendee, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

“I sometimes have to turn around and look at Katy (Gallagher) and Murray (Watt) because I’m so angry.”

The Prime Minister has never publicly wavered in his belief that Voice will succeed, despite poor poll results and calls for the referendum to be canceled or postponed.

A government source told Daily Mail Australia that the leaked audio only reinforced the Prime Minister’s commitment to the proposed voice.

“Australians can be sure that what the Prime Minister advocates privately is what he does publicly,” the insider said.

“He believes in Australians and is working for a better future.”

Mr Albanese was asked on the radio Tuesday morning if he had any regrets over the handling of the campaign leading up to the referendum, and if there was anything he would change if he had his time.

‘Absolutely nothing in terms of, I committed to it. It’s a matter of belief, it’s not a matter of convenience,” he said.

Mr Albanese admitted he had no way of controlling “some of the misinformation that is going around”, but he does not believe it will change the results on Election Day.

“I’m very confident… about the opportunity we have in the future to do the right thing and respond to the invitation of Indigenous Australians.

‘It’s quite simple, really, when you cut out all the noise, it’s just an acknowledgment and an advisory body so that we can listen to Indigenous Australians and get better results.

Speaking at an event in Sydney to promote the Yes effort later on Tuesday, Mr Albanese criticized the No campaign for muddying the waters surrounding what he described as a “very clear” issue.

“They want all these distractions. People should read what is the issue of recognizing First Nations people through a voice,” he said.

“The clauses in it are legally valid, they will not interfere with the way the government operates on a day-to-day basis. Our Parliament will remain in control of its own destiny.’

The Prime Minister joined former Liberal MP Pat Farmer as his ‘Run for the Voice’ reached the Sydney Opera House

Mr Albanese said Australians should have conversations with family and friends to build support for the voice, joining Mr Farmer for a small part of the race, surrounded by Yes campaigners.

The Prime Minister joined former Liberal MP Pat Farmer as his ‘Run for the Voice’ outreach effort reached the Sydney Opera House.

He runs nearly 15,000 km to support the referendum.

M Albanese said Australians should have conversations with family and friends to build support for the voice, joining Mr Farmer for a small part of the race, surrounded by Yes campaigners.

‘To anyone thinking, “Am I going to spend another Sunday knocking on doors?” It must be easier than running 14,000 kilometres,” he said.
