Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has revealed the date of the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum. Voters will head to the polls on the 14th of October to decide whether to enshrine an Indigenous Voice in Australia's constitution.
"The idea of a Voice came from the people, and it will be decided by the people. Today I announce that referendum day will be the 14th of October."
The announcement was made in Adelaide’s northern suburbs, with both the yes and no campaign’s viewing South Australia as a key state to win the referendum."The great story of our country through the generations is that Australians come together to answer these calls for change. We rise to the moment like the kangaroo and the emu on our coat of arms. They never go backwards. They just go forwards and so do we.
New South Wales and Victoria are expected to vote 'Yes', while Western Australia and Queensland are leaning towards a 'No' vote. Finance Minister Katy Gallagher has been campaigning in Canberra, and says the Voice is about creating better outcomes for First Nations people. Mr Costello told SBS he witnesses a similar reluctance from Church leaders in Australia around advocating for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
