A majority of voters want the Albanese government to continue to work with Indigenous Australians to find solutions despite Saturday’s voice referendum rout but only 38% of Guardian Essential poll respondents think the next step should be a treaty.

As Peter Dutton on Monday dumped his suggestion of pursuing a second referendum on Indigenous constitutional recognition in the event the voice to parliament was defeated, the new survey of 1,125 voters finds low levels of public support for treaty, truth-telling, a legislated voice or constitutional recognition of the first Australians without a voice to parliament.
