Australian referendum 2023: Australia votes no and rejects Indigenous voice to parliament

Australians voters have rejected the proposal to enshrine an Indigenous voice to parliament in the nation’s constitution, with every state and territory except the ACT voting against it. Indigenous Australians minister Linda Burney held back tears as she stood alongside Albanese and conceded recent months had been ’tough’ on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. ’But be proud of who you are,’ she said. ’Be proud of the 65,000 years of history and culture that you are part of, and your rightful place in this country.’ Subscribe to Guardian Australia on YouTube and hit the bell to see new videos ► Indigenous voice to parliament: Australian voters reject constitutional amendment at historic referendum ► Voice referendum 2023 live results tracker, map and votes by state ► Rejecting the voice shows Australia is still in denial, its history of forgetting a festering wrong | Lorena Allam ► Factchecking the seven biggest pieces of misinformation pushed by the no campaign ► Support Guardian Australia ► Sign up to Guardian Australia’s free daily newsletters, the Morning Mail and Afternoon Update ► Website ► Facebook ► Instagram ► Twitter ► TikTok ► @guardianaustralia LinkedIn ► Newsletters ► Subscribe to the Guardian’s other YouTube channels: The Guardian ► Guardian News ► Guardian Football ► Guardian Sport ► Guardian Live ► #referendum2023 #voicereferendum #voicetoparliament #guardianaustralia #news #breakingnews #theguardian
