The Voice to Parliament Referendum Australia 2023

On Saturday, October 14, 2023, Australians will vote on whether they approve of an alteration to the Australian Constitution. If successful, the alteration would see the First Peoples of Australia formally recognized in the Australian Constitution by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

This Statista report delves into the path to the Voice to Parliament Referendum, including a brief history of how the referendum came to be and the significance of a constitutionally protected Voice. It provides an overview of the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, which was set up to achieve health and socioeconomic equality for First Nations people, presenting data on progress toward its targets, including those reported to be worsening and those reported to be on track. It then considers the 'Yes' and 'No' referendum campaigns, including information on the possible impact of a First Nations Voice according to both campaigns. Finally, the report covers public opinion on the proposed Voice, including the views of First Nations people.
