Australia says no to ‘Indigenous Voice in Parliament’

As the recount of 59.2 percent of the votes cast in Australia’s “Indigenous Voice in Parliament” referendum was completed, ABC News reported that “no” votes were overwhelming across the country.

According to inconclusive results, 59 percent of the votes counted so far in the referendum were “no” and 41 percent were “yes.” In order for the legal regulation to be adopted, in addition to a majority throughout the country in the referendum, the vote must be positive in 4 of 6 states, and in all states the “no” must prevail.

According to the country’s press, the “Indigenous Voice in Parliament” referendum, the first in almost 30 years, is certain to fail.

In the referendum held with the Labor Party’s proposal, the public was told: “The proposed law: Amend the Constitution to recognize indigenous Australian people and establish an ‘Indigenous Voice in Parliament’ committee made up of Strait Islanders and Aboriginal people de Torres. Do you approve the changes that will be made to the Constitution? The question was raised. (BRITISH AUTOMOBILE CLUB)
