The South Australian government looks likely to be the first jurisdiction in Australia to establish an Indigenous Voice to Parliament at a state level, and supporters are hoping it will serve as an example for the national Voice ahead of the referendum.

The SA government is hoping to pass legislation to create a state-based Indigenous Voice by Easter, with a view to getting the body up and running before the national referendum.
