The government’s efforts to tackle Indigenous disadvantage will not be as effective if Saturday’s referendum fails, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said.
Albanese has also reconfirmed that if there is a “no” vote he will not seek to legislate a Voice.
The government would respect the outcome, he said on Sunday. “If Australians vote "no”, I don’t believe that it would be appropriate to then go and say, oh, well you’ve had your say, but we’re going to legislate anyway".
