00:30 >> How are you feeling at the end of the campaign?
00:36 >> Sad and nervous and proud, actually.
00:42 And just look at all the amazing Indigo people.
00:46 And there are people here that have come up on the train from Castlemaine to be here.
00:49 And they come up each Friday and stay with us.
00:51 And they jump on the train to go home.
00:53 There's just so much lovely support.
00:55 >> Optimistic, trying to stay neutral, trying not to give my hopes up too much.
01:00 But also don't get negative.
01:03 >> So with today's out, you know, today with everybody here, how can we be negative?
01:12 This is nothing but positive.
01:14 And the love, the feel, everything's here, you know?
01:17 So feeling good, feeling good.
01:20 Either way, we will stand together here.
01:24 >> With the response that we've had standing here with just our small group,
01:29 we've had heaps of thumbs up and heaps of support, which has been really uplifting.
01:34 So, yeah, I'm feeling apprehensive, of course, but I'm feeling quite positive as well.
01:41 And I believe, yes, we need to save Australia.
01:45 >> I'm not going to vote no.
01:47 >> I'm in democracy and I just feel I've had Aboriginals come up to me and tell me that a lot of Indigenous are voting no or sitting on their fence.
01:57 And they believe we should have an advisory, not change the constitution.
02:01 And I feel that too.
