Ed Coper is a director of social change agency Populares and an expert on misinformation. He has warned that the proposed Indigenous Voice to parliament is "really susceptible to misinformation", given that many people now form their opinions based on information they read on social media. Coper argues that while social media companies have become better at removing disinformation, it has usually been widely disseminated by the time they are alerted to its presence on their platforms. Meanwhile, Liberal senator Andrew Bragg says the referendum is set to fail unless the pro-Voice campaign actively targets conservative voters. He notes that the campaign is largely focused on people who already intend to vote 'yes' in the referendum, but polls show that only 13 per cent of Liberal voters support the Voice.
