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

Australians have resoundingly rejected a proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in its constitution and establish a body to advise parliament on Indigenous issues.

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

    Yet again, I’m sorry. And yet again, that’s not enough.

      I’m not sorry. I did all I could do.

      I don’t take responsibility for those fuckers who voted no.

        The other commenter isn’t taking responsibility for their actions either. They are just disappointed with the results.
