Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is driving home a final push for the Yes campaign, rallying volunteers and speaking with voters in the nation's capital ahead of next weekend's Indigenous Voice to parliament referendum.
Albanese has unequivocally ruled out a legislated version of the Voice if the referendum fails.
For the prime minister on the campaign trail at Canberra's annual Floriade festival on Sunday, it was a field of flowers and a sea of selfies.

With six days to go, he was trying to convince undecided voters to get on board.
Earlier at a Yes rally in Queanbeyan, just outside Canberra, he was preaching to a choir of volunteers crucial to the campaign.
"This is our time, this is the change Australia deserves," he said.
The prime minister told 9News: "The response in regional Australia as well as in our cities is very positive. It's just about two things, recognition and listening to get better outcomes."
A new Resolve Political Monitor in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age showed of 4728 people surveyed, 56.1 per cent said they were against the Voice, while 43.9 percent, said they'd vote Yes.
On a state-by-state basis, only Tasmania returned a Yes result, though on a smaller sample size.
Denying the Yes advocates felt like the underdogs in the race, Albanese said: "I'm just seeing this as an enormous opportunity for Australia to move forward.
"There's everything to gain here but nothing to lose."
The Voice will be lost though, if Australia says No.
The prime minister confirmed he'll walk away from the proposal if the referendum is rejected.
"If Australians vote No, I don't believe that it would be appropriate to say 'oh well you've had you say but we'll legislate it anyway'," Albanese told the ABC's Insiders.
Deputy Opposition Leader Susan Ley said: "It is a loss for the country to see this referendum divide the country, the way it has given me no joy."
