Writing on a car displays support for the ‘Yes’ vote in Australia’s upcoming referendum on Indigenous issues, at a car park in Alice Springs, Australia, September 17, 2023. REUTERSPIX: Voters will bring “shame” on Australia if they reject an October 14 referendum on Indigenous rights, a leading advocate warned Monday, as polls pointed to defeat.
Australians face a “moral choice”, said Noel Pearson, an Indigenous lawyer and land rights activist who is one of the architects of the “Voice” proposal. A Newspoll survey published in The Australian late Sunday showed a 63-37 percent split against the Voice, the latest in a string of polls indicating the referendum will fail.Pearson insisted the only poll that counts is the referendum.
The centre-left Labor Party leader said it was “hard” to change the constitution, with referendums requiring a national majority, as well as majority in at least four of the six states.
