Me too, but Albanese had the job of convincing the majority of voters, and this wasn't sufficient for them. By backing Albanese on the "no need for details" line, instead of pushing him to propose a model, public supporters of Yes doomed us to failure.

My perception was that the Yes campaign was always designed to be a positive campaign and it remained true to that to the end. I don’t think many No voters would have been swayed by seeing a model, given the form of the opposition the Yes campaign generated.
