The constitutional reform gives Indigenous peoples the right to be consulted on community issues.

Recent polls indicate a split of about 60-40 against the Indigenous rights referendum pushed by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s government.

Albanese travelled to the sacred Aboriginal site of Uluru, a giant red monolith in central Australia, on a media blitz to try to persuade skeptical voters to recognise Indigenous people in the 1901 constitution for the first time. “What I want to see is the best of Australia. We are a great multicultural success story,” Albanese told public broadcaster ABC, with Uluru dominating the background as he wore a wide-brimmed hat to fend off the desert sun.

“That, to me, was a really moving moment of unity. That is the sort of Australia that I want to see, an Australia where we’re defined by our unity, not by our divisions,” he said.
