Yes Referendum Analysis Organiser
Background: the 2023 Voice referendum
On 14 October 2023, Australian voters were asked whether to approve a constitutional change recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. The proposed section 129 would have recognised First Peoples, established a Voice that could make representations to Parliament and the Executive Government on matters relating to them, and allowed Parliament to make laws about the Voice’s composition, functions, powers and procedures. The Voice would have been advisory; the proposal did not give it a veto over laws. A constitutional amendment requires a national majority of formal votes and a majority of formal votes in at least four of the six states. The proposal did not pass.
Two campaign perspectives
YES campaign summary: Supporters argued that a Voice would give First Peoples a constitutionally recognised way to advise government about decisions affecting their communities. They said this could improve consultation and help policies respond to local knowledge. Some supporters also described constitutional recognition as an important step towards a fairer relationship. NO campaign summary: Opponents raised concerns about the proposal’s wording, how the Voice would work in practice, and whether it could create uncertainty or division. Some argued that the details should be settled before a constitutional vote; others preferred practical action without changing the Constitution. These summaries describe arguments made in public debate, not proof that every prediction would come true.
