Parked at an angle so people cannot miss all the written content on her van, Shelley had a lot of people coming up to her to talk. Dedicated to opening the discussion on what people are voting for, Shelley said she is passionate about empowering people to research what voting yes or no means to them and to the country. This is not Shelley’s first campaign, nor controversial cause; her message-covered van includes references to the dangers of a cashless society and Covid-19 vaccines. However, for the next few months her mission is to draw people’s attention to the referendum discussion. “People come up to me all the time and want to chat about the issues, and it’s been the same here in Coffs Harbour. “We’re hearing a lot from the ‘yes’ campaigners but nothing from the ‘no’ side. “It’s important to hear both sides.” Shelley says she is supporting Warren Mundine and Senator Nampijinpa Price. “They are the ones speaking up about it,” she said. Shelley hopes that her campaign will inspire more people to learn more about the upcoming referendum.
