Indigenous leader Marcia Langton has urged the Albanese government to lay out what the future holds for Aboriginal Australians in the event of a No vote for the voice referendum on October 14, fearing it could give governments a mandate to “do nothing and to make our lives worse”.
Declaring this was Australia’s “one chance” to achieve constitutional recognition, leading Yes campaigners joined with Professor Langton on Wednesday in warning they would not work with Peter Dutton on a second “voiceless” referendum if the poll next month failed because it was not what they wanted.
Professor Langton said she would not be willing to work with the Opposition Leader on another referendum “should he ever be elected”, saying it would serve no purpose because Indigenous Australians had asked for recognition through a voice to combine symbolic and practical change.
Mr Dutton earlier this week said that, if elected, he would hold a second referendum on constitutional recognition if the Australian people reject next month’s poll, after telling The Australian he would pursue constitutional recognition while legislating local and regional voices.
