Acknowledging the defeat of the Voice referendum, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese also outlined new opportunities and investments for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in his Garma Festival speech.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has addressed Australia's largest Indigenous political gathering in a speech that reflected on the Voice to Parliament's defeat and focused on economic empowerment . The Garma Festival , the nation's biggest celebration of Yolngu culture, was where Albanese put forward his proposition for the Indigenous Voice to Parliament in 2022, and last year attempted to reboot the campaign in support of the proposal two months before the vote .
Prior to these announcements, Albanese acknowledged Linda Burney's legacy as the first Indigenous woman elected to Australia's House of Representatives following the announcement of her resignation from cabinet and decision to not re-contest the next federal election. Malarndirri McCarthy is the new Minister for Indigenous Australians and Albanese described her as a "strong woman" and a "fiercely proud Territorian".
