Voice to parliament referendum fails in defeat that Indigenous advocates will see as a blow to progress towards reconciliation

Saturday’s voice to parliament referendum failed, with the defeat clear shortly after polls closed.

    Yep very misleading. There’s recognition, and then there’s the advisory board question. The Yes campaign did a shoking job and alienated everyone by calling people racist who asked questions about the Voice.
