A man walks in front of Redfern train station in Sydney on October 14, 2023, as polls open in Australia's historic Indigenous rights referendum. AFPPIX: Australia’s Indigenous leaders called for a week of silence and reflection after a referendum to recognise the First Peoples in the constitution was decisively rejected by a majority of the population.

The leaders said the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island flag would be lowered to half-mast for the week to acknowledge the referendum result.
