Australians are being asked to alter the country’s founding legal document for the first time since 1977 to recognise the “First Peoples of Australia” by establishing an Indigenous Voice to parliament. “Yes” campaigner Kyam Maher, an Indigenous man and South Australia state’s attorney general, said the question he was most often asked by thousands of voters was what result Indigenous Australians wanted. More than 17 million Australians will vote “yes” or “no” on a single question on Saturday to “alter the constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice". If the answer is “yes", the constitution would be rewritten to state that the Voice “may make representations” to the parliament and executive government “on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples”.
