Australians Rejects historic Indigenous Voice Referendum

Australians Rejects historic Indigenous Voice referendum……….

With a majority of people in all of the six states voting No

To succeed, the Yes campaign would have needed the support of at least four states, and a majority of the national votes

The Voice sought to establish an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander body to advise the government on the issues affecting their communities. As well as creating an advisory body, the amendment sought to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as Australia’s First Peoples in its constitution.

Australia Capital Territory, which includes the capital Canberra, is the only region that has voted Yes to the reform. However, it does not count as a state vote, and only goes into the national tally.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said after the result that Australians need to find a way forward, and that the “moment of disagreement” does not define the people

South Australia’s Opposition leader David Speirs called for PM Albanese to resign in the event of a resounding No vote from the Australian public

Yes campaign director Dean Parkin, in response to the result, said: “this is a base, not a summit. We will build on this.” Yes supporters believe the reform would lead to real improvements – including healthcare and employment – in the lives of Indigenous peoples

No supporters argued that the Voice, a proposal to include an Indigenous-led elected advisory body in the parliament, was divisive, had not been “road tested” and was a “leap into the unknown”

Leading figure Warren Mundine in the No camp said the referendum was “built on a lie” and a waste of time and resources that could have been better spent on struggling communities.
