The 'Yes' campaign is hoping a huge march in Adelaide is a sign the state will back the Voice to Parliament at next month's referendum. Voters have just four weeks to make up their minds with both sides promising campaign blitzes to try to persuade South Australians.

00:00 What do we want? Yes! When do we want it? Now!
00:06 Their message is clear. And on the 14th of October? Yes!
00:11 People came out in Adelaide CBD in their thousands to back the voice to Parliament.
00:16 It's about time black people get the chance to speak for black people instead of white
00:20 people speaking for us like they have been for over 200 years.
00:23 They marched from Victoria Square and along King William Street.
00:30 Today is very important to me because seeing everyone here is very empowering.
00:35 People say it'll divide us, I don't think it would.
00:42 Despite its high profile supporters, the State Opposition Leader is predicting the voice
00:47 will be easily defeated at the referendum. But the Yes campaign is optimistic.
00:52 We're very encouraged by what we're seeing here in South Australia and around the country.
00:56 And you will see increasing activity from the Yes campaign and the fantastic volunteers
01:01 and people that are gathered here today because we all want one outcome and that is a Yes
01:05 outcome. While thousands of people are at today's Yes
01:08 event, another thousand people have registered their attendance for a no campaign rally in
01:13 Adelaide on Monday. They say it's a falsehood that Indigenous
01:16 Australians don't already have a voice. They're also all very committed to reconciliation
01:22 and recognition and better outcomes for our first Australians.
01:25 Both sides are asking all those eligible to make sure they're enrolled to vote by Monday's
01:30 cut-off date.
