No side needs ‘miracle’ to win referendum, campaigner concedes

The no side in the children’s rights referendum campaign have said it will take a “miracle” for them to win but have attacked the media and others for allegedly failing to inform the public on issues sufficiently.

The comments came as campaigners canvass voters in the closing days before voting.

Richard Greene of the Christian Solidarity Party said it would take a “miracle” for voters to reject the proposed amendment of the Constitution. He said that, with the major parties supporting a yes vote, “it’s a massive mountain to defeat”.
