Details for the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum have now been confirmed. Supporters of the Indigenous Voice to Parliament have gathered at the official launch of the yes campaign.


Key Points
  • The group which will ask Australians to vote yes in that referendum has launched their official campaign at the Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute in Adelaide.
  • The Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has not attended the launch - but he's been on the front foot ahead of the event, accusing the Opposition leader Peter Dutton of trying to create confusion about the Voice.
  • The Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum will be held later this year in a landmark moment for Australia.

The Nationals have repeatedly said they don't support the Voice.

Leader David Littleproud says the party does not believe it will make Indigenous lives better, though they support the principle behind it.

The Liberals have yet to confirm their official position, but Peter Dutton has consistently demanded more detail on what the Voice will look like.
