Australians will cast the final votes on Saturday in a referendum that will set the tone of relations with the country’s First Nations people for decades to come, as polls show almost certain defeat for Yes supporters and Indigenous campaigners who have long appealed for change.
Voters are being asked to approve an amendment to the constitution to recognize Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and to create a body – the Voice to Parliament – of Indigenous people to advise the government on matters that affect them.
” Indigenous leader Noel Pearson, one of the architects of the calls for constitutional change, said in a speech to the National Press Club in September that the largest motivation for voting Yes was the “love of country.” “It is not the love of each other that joins us, it is our mutual love of country … we don’t need mutual affection to succeed in this referendum,” said Pearson.
