ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Date set for referendum on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament | ABC News” – below is their description.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, announcing October 14 will be the date Australians head to the polls.
The announcement lays the foundation for six weeks of intense cross country campaigning from both sides of the debate, looking to tip voters in their favour. Political Reporter Dana Morse begins our coverage from Adelaide.
Then, with the referendum starter’s gun fired, how are both sides faring in the eyes of the Australian public? ABC Data Analyst Casey Briggs looks at what the polling suggests, as we enter the home stretch.
This will be Australia’s first referendum since 1999, and emotions are running high. But is the country ready? The ABC’s Referendum Correspondent Dan Bourchier provides his take.
