Over 60% of Australians voted against altering the constitution to recognise Indigenous people.
The outcome of the Voice to Parliament referendum is seen as a setback for reconciliation efforts with Australia’s Indigenous community.
The outcome is seen as a setback for reconciliation efforts with the country’s Indigenous community, and also for Australia’s global image regarding how it treats First Nations people. “This is a bitter irony. That people who have only been on this continent for 235 years would refuse to recognise those whose home this land has been for 60,000 and more years is beyond reason,” the leaders said in a statement that was released on social media platforms.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese staked significant political capital on the Voice referendum, but his critics say it was his biggest misstep since coming to power in May last year.
