Australia’s prime minister has revealed key information about a referendum that might result in the country’s first constitutional change in over 50 years.
If passed, a referendum later this year would create an official organization called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, which would allow Indigenous people to offer their opinions on laws.
It would be a “quite basic” yet “momentous” adjustment, according to PM Anthony Albanese.
Only eight of 44 constitutional referendums have been successful, making them fairly uncommon.
The Voice is the subject of heated discussion across the political spectrum, with both supporters and opponents.
