Incorporating the Indigenous vote into parliament has caused controversy and debate since it was first proposed by Indigenous Australians in the Uluru Statement from the Heart in 2017.

Now, Australia's migrant community is apparently also calling for their votes to also be incorporated into the Constitution.

The group that launched the “Recognise a Better Way” campaign, consisted of Country Liberal Party Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa [[Nam-Pi-Jin-Puh]] Price; former Labor Party president and liberal candidate Nyunggai Warren Mundine; Bob Liddle of Kemara Enterprises, Northern Territory developer Kings Creek Station Ian Conway; former deputy prime minister John Anderson; and former Labor minister Gary Johns. Mr

Nyunggai's 'No Voice to Parliament' group president Warren Mundine said the Constitution was for all Australians, including migrants.
