South Australia and Tasmania expected to decide future of voice to parliament as Anthony Albanese confirms date at Adelaide rally
The Indigenous voice referendum date will be announced at a large community rally in Adelaide’s outer suburbs on Wednesday, kickstarting a campaign to change Australia’s constitution for the first time in nearly half a century.
“Seven years ago when the Uluru statement was issued, no one would have known out of that process, a place of despair, we’d be on the cusp of going to a referendum with a positive vision for the future,” said Prof Megan Davis, co-chair of the Uluru Dialogue and an architect of the voice. The referendum requires a double majority to pass, meaning a majority of voters nationally must approve it, as well as at least four of the country’s six states.
