The referendum will take place on October 14.
Australians will vote on October 14 on a proposed law to create a so-called Indigenous Voice to parliament in the nation’s first referendum in a generation.
Mr Albanese urged people to vote “yes” as polls showed more than 80% of Australia’s Indigenous population – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples – intended to do so. A ‘yes’ vote would enshrine in the nation’s constitution a mechanism for Indigenous people to advise Parliament on policies that affect their lives
Indigenous Australians account for 3.8% of population and they die around eight years younger than Australia’s wider population. “To dream, to have vision, to plan: this is what the Voice is about. It permits our people to have a seat at the table.”Proponents say there would be no Indigenous right of veto over government policy and legislators would be free to disregard the Voice’s representations.
“I’m not going to allow a line to run straight through the middle of my family within our constitution,” Ms Price added, referring to her mixed-race heritage.
