New data suggests the overwhelming majority of Australian First Nations people support an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, as prime minister Anthony Albanese pushes the referendum after protests.
"It's clear. Overwhelmingly, First Nations People support a Voice – a chance to have a say in the policies and laws that impact us," Alyawarre woman and Uluru Dialogue Co-Chair Pat Anderson AO said. The study surveyed Indigenous Australians from all over the country between January 20 to 24 of this year.
"Indigenous people after hundreds of consultations came together and said they wanted voice as the first thing," Albanese said.
