Australians to vote in a referendum on Indigenous Voice to Parliament on October 14

The Hindu  

Australians will vote on October 14 on a proposed law to create a so-called Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the nation’s first referendum in a generation. Explained | Australia’s referendum to include an Indigenous ‘Voice’ in its Constitution The referendum would enshrine in the Constitution an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, a collection of advocates aimed at giving the nation’s most disadvantaged ethnic minority more say on government policy. Mr. Albanese urged people to vote “yes” as polls showed more than 80% of Australia's Indigenous population — Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples — intended to do so. Opponents including Opposition leader Peter Dutton, Australia’s alternative Prime Minister, argue the system is stacked in favour of the “yes” vote.
