'Is my club going to run a poll of its own financial members and sponsors at great expense to see if a majority of us want the club to push the Yes case on the Voice?. 'I'm a member of an AFL club with 100,000 financial members… I contribute three of those 100,000 memberships. 'It will be fascinating to see if any of the clubs decline to reveal any position at all, and why should they? 'It's urging a Yes position to be taken,' he said. Price stated the memo 'disgracefully' does not ask a question about whether the club is even taking a position on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament. 'A senior executive has given AFL clubs until May 8, so a week away, to reveal before their Indigenous round if they will be ticking Yes on a Voice question that's still being debated for a referendum without a date that is dividing Australia like no other referendum has,' he said on Sky News Australia. Price revealed he was 'shocked' by the memo and questioned why the AFL 'requires such a person' in Hosch's position. The memo, sent by the GM of Inclusion and Social Policy Tanya Hosch (pictured), urged clubs to advise the AFL if they will support the Yes campaign ahead of the upcoming referendum
