Australia's failed referendum on the Indigenous Voice has set back the government’s plans to cut the nation's constitutional ties to Britain’s King Charles III
Australia’s failed referendum on the Indigenous Voice has set back the government’s plans to cut the nation’s constitutional ties to Britain’s King Charles III, a minister said Thursday. Australians last week overwhelmingly rejected the referendum that would have enshrined in the constitution an Indigenous advisory body to Parliament.
The weekend referendum result had also triggered a backlash against Indigenous rights in two states where the “no” vote was strongest. In Queensland where opposition to the Voice was strongest, the state opposition party on Wednesday reneged on a commitment to support negotiating a treaty between the state and Indigenous residents. Opposition leader David Crisafulli explained he had hoped that a treaty would lead to better outcomes for the Indigenous population.
