Jason Momoa throws support behind Yes campaign for Voice referendum
The Hollywood actor shared a viral Yes campaign video, but not all of his fans are happy about it.
Hollywood star Jason Momoa has thrown his support behind the Yes campaign in the Voice referendum, sharing a viral 'Yes vote' video to his millions of followers on Instagram.
The actor, who is of Indigenous Polynesian descent, shared the viral video starring Indigenous musician Briggs, alongside comedians Jenna Owen and Vic Zerbst.
Taika Waititi originally uploaded the video to his Instagram page, which Jason then reposted to his own account.
Taika's caption encouraged Australians to vote Yes, explaining the aim of the campaign is 'to give Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people a voice in parliament so they can weigh in on issues that affect their lives.'

"Thank you. The Uluru Statement was the result of consultation with Aboriginal people all over Australia. They asked to be heard. It’s so very simple," one person said.
"Thanks for sharing this. It is a big deal here and causing a lot of controversy and misinformation. Go #briggsy. It is a beginning. Please #voteyes," another said.
"Stay in your lane, Jason. You're an actor, you do not need a position on this," one annoyed fan commented.
"Stick to acting, mate, and leave the politics to the corrupt politicians of Australia," another said.
The Voice referendum voting takes place October 14.
