Researchers say Australians still feel 'fatigued' after the Voice to Parliament referendum.

Australia's interest in Indigenous issues has declined to its lowest level since 2021, according to a survey conducted by Ipsos, which reveals declining interest in matters relating to First Nations people. The report states that only 16 per cent of Australians said they were "very interested" in Indigenous issues, compared with 22 per cent in 2023 and 19 per cent in 2021.

The report states "young Australians still show a deep empathy for Indigenous issues", with 59 per cent stating that they were interested in Indigenous issues and 64 per cent saying they were confident in their knowledge of local Country. Nearly 40 per cent want Indigenous place names to be added to the address on letters and parcels. The report highlights that 31 per cent of Australians think the government needs to do more for Indigenous people.
