Did Indigenous people want a Voice? The results from some of Australia's most remote communities suggest many did

ABC  

First Nations people in Australia were never going to have a uniform view on the referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. "I knew, having spoken to people throughout the Northern Territory, to Indigenous people from the Northern Territory and right across the country … that a vast group of Indigenous Australians did not support the proposal," Northern Territory Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price said on Saturday night, once it was clear the Voice had been rejected. While booths in Alice Springs, a town of about 25,000 and Central Australia's main population centre, were firmly No, polling teams sent out into remote Indigenous communities across the Top End and red centre consistently returned high Yes results. Leichhardt On Cape York — the tropical northern tip of Queensland — remote Indigenous communities also voted Yes, including in Hope Vale, Thursday Island, and Lockhart River. But people in remote Indigenous communities may well be wondering, now that they've had the chance to use their voice at the ballot box: what next?
