The Voice to Parliament referendum has been defeated. Less than 90 minutes after polls closed in the eastern states, the referendum was called as a massive defeat for Yes.
The early No vote looks very strong in the Northern Territory too. With around 15 per cent counted No is sitting on 65 per cent.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says while the result was “not one I had hoped for, I absolutely respect the decision of the Australian people and the democratic process that has delivered it”.
“When we reflect on everything happening in the world today, we can all give thanks that here in Australia we make the big decisions peacefully and as equals, with one vote, one value,” he said.
