We are optimistic and we are hopeful about the referendum, and that is the focus of the government's work. I don't propose to get into what-ifs, because our job as the government is to do what we said we would if we were elected. Our job is to keep faith with the commitment we gave not only to the Australian people in the broad but to our First Nations Australians, and we will do so.
