On Saturday evening, in a nondescript office in North Sydney, Yes23 campaigners and their supporters – 80 or so people – gathered to watch Australians reject the Indigenous voice to parliament.
It had been a dry campaign, but people permitted themselves a tipple and something to eat. Nobody at the private wake was surprised as the results came in. Before the result had even been confirmed, Marcia Langton had declared reconciliation was “dead”.
