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.

We wanted to see them, they just wouldn’t show us. “Trust us bro, we’re the government”. Unsurprisingly it didn’t go down well.
