Victoria has voted against the Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
Victoria has rejected the Indigenous Voice to Parliament, with 53 per cent of the state voting No at 9.15pm, with 58 per cent of the vote counted.’s senior economics correspondent Shane Wright called the result after an extra 150,000 votes were counted, including larger booths.
“What we’re seeing is the pattern of inner versus outer in both of the major capital cities,” Green said.With counting still under way, support in the seat of Melbourne, held by Greens leader Adam Bandt, was at 79 per cent. Yes campaigner and AFL executive Tanya Hosch said she was devastated the referendum had been defeated.“We are going to need to take a moment to absorb that message and what it says.”Federal senator for Victoria, Lidia Thorpe, who did not support the Voice, said it had been a horrible 12 months in the lead-up to the vote.
She said she wasn’t surprised to see a strong result for the No campaign, arguing the country had not been taken on a journey and the referendum was a bad idea.Polling from Resolve Political Monitor had support for the Voice in Victoria at 65 per cent in results collected over December and January. By June it had fallen to 56 per cent, dropped to 49 per cent in August and September and had bottomed out to 46 per cent a week before the referendum.
“It’s about understanding that something needs to change, we need to bring about change to the way that we listen to in Indigenous communities, and then work with them to get better outcomes,” she said.
