The Indigenous Voice to parliament has been defeated, putting an end to the plans to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the country’s constitution.
The country’s three highest earning electorates, Wentworth, Warringah and Mitchell have returned Yes votes of 63, 62 and 62 per cent respectively so far, he told the ABC’s broadcast. “It is clear from the result that we were not able to reach you and cut through, what has been the single largest misinformation campaign that this country has ever seen.
Uncle Rodney Dillon, the Palawa Elder and Amnesty International Australia First Nations spokesman, said the Voice result is heartbreaking. NSW Senator Andrew Bragg, one of the few Liberals to support the Voice, blamed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for the defeat. “Naturally, I am disappointed, and my thoughts are with every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australian who is feeling a sense of sadness tonight.”“To every Indigenous Australian I say, this was a vote about the Constitution, it was not a vote about you. It is an undeniable fact that you are our land’s first peoples and I honour you this night.
