Australians will vote on October 14 to decide whether the Constitution will be changed to include a Voice to Parliament and executive government.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the long-anticipated date to an enthusiastic audience of about 400 in the Adelaide suburb of Elizabeth. He was accompanied by Minister for Indigenous Australians Linda Burney and Indigenous leaders of the “yes” campaign, including Megan Davis and Dean Parkin.
Albanese said this was a “once in a generation chance to bring our country together, and to change it for the better”.
