The date favoured for the national vote to change the constitution is October 14, sandwiched between sporting events, and outside school holidays. It's also before the wet season sets in and prevents some Indigenous communities from being able to easily cast a vote.For the referendum to succeed it needs an absolute majority, and a majority of states to back it.
Parliament would not be obliged to follow its advice, and the body would not have the power to veto laws. Indigenous people would also be recognised as Australia's First Peoples in the constitution.Just eight of 44 referendums held in Australia have passed, each needing both an overall majority and a majority in most states.
