Ray Martin made clear his disdain for the "If you don't know, vote no" slogan when speaking at an Indigenous voice yes rally in parliament last week. "What a stupid, ridiculous slogan this is," the veteran TV presenter said. A few days later Daily Mail obtained video of event at Factory hall in Marrickville, claiming that Martin had not targeted any voters, instead using slogan of his no campaign. The story led to three days of attacks on the multiple Gold Logie winner from everyone from the usual shock jocks to opposition leader Peter Dutton. "Ray Martin launches extraordinary three-word attack on Voice of Parliament" was the headline of Daily Mail report, which stated that Martin had not labeled any voters as dinosaurs and dickheads and "did not rip any voters". Martin told the Weekly Beast that neither campaign had misinterpreted Marcia Langton's claim last month that she had never branded any voters racist or stupid in the "exactly same" way; The local leader also vehemently denied this claim. Martin said he had sent his entire speech to a journalist in Western Australia so it would be clear what he saying, which was "contrary to what the Daily Mail saying". The former host of A Current Affair was invited back to the show that made him a household name, but was met with an editorial from Allison Langdon, which said Martin had created division with his "provocative" remarks. Langdon repeatedly asked if he regretted his comments or the language he used. The story was introduced as Ray Martin's vulgar rant. Martin made no promises. “What I find offensive is the stupid slogan, 'If you don't know, vote no,' it's an endorsement of ignorance,” he said to an angry Langdon. “This is a very important vote, please find out what this is about and vote accordingly.” “I respectfully told Ally that this wasn't exactly a neo-Nazi thing,” Martin said. “And I kept saying, 'Do you want to take it back?' he continued to say. Seven brings back the 'worm' Martin, who discovered his great-great-grandmother was a Kamilaroi woman in the early 1990s, returns to tabloid TV on Sunday as one of four panellists on Seven News' Spotlight The Voice Final Pitch. Martin will argue the yes case with Senator Malarndirri McCarthy against senators Lidia Thorpe and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, who voted no.
