Australians have resoundingly rejected a proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in its constitution and establish a body to advise parliament on Indigenous issues.
Saturday’s voice to parliament referendum failed, with the defeat clear shortly after polls closed.
I confused as to what you’re trying to say: The referendum failed because the Voice was attached to it which people didn’t like it but at the same time it didn’t promise enough? I doubt the result would’ve been any different if it promised to do more than what the proposal offered
The referendum failed because the pointless, vague, virtue signalling voice was attached to it. Had there been 2 questions on the referendum, one about recognising indigenous people in the constitution, that absolutely would have passed while the voice one failed.
Had they actually committed to something that would be guaranteed to help indigenous people because it gave them some power, and importantly been able to give us all the details about it and how it will, that would have had a much better chance than the voice we got.
