[1/2] A ‘No’ sign sits in front of the Tent Embassy near the Old Australian Parliament House as voters arrive during The Voice referendum, in Canberra, Australia, October 14, 2023.
An Australian referendum requires a majority vote in at least four of its six states, as well as nationally.
Ultimately, no state supported the "Voice" and the national vote was 40% "Yes" to 60% "No", according to preliminary counting.
After the votes were counted, Dutton said his party supported Indigenous reconciliation but he made no mention of an alternative measure.
Albanese, asked on Saturday why the vote had failed, said no referendum had succeeded without bipartisan support.
