Voice referendum reside updates: Australian voters reject change to structure with no forward in 5 states – newest updates | Indigenous voice to parliament

Australians vote towards an Indigenous voice to parliament

The ABC has known as South Australia as a no vote.

We concur with their evaluation.

The referendum has failed.

Back to the referendum and our political analyst, Simon Jackman, is projecting a no win in Queensland. With 13% of the vote counted, the current breakdown is 33% for yes and 66% for no. He is predicting a final yes vote of around 35%.

Breaking out of referendum coverage for a moment –the department of foreign affairs and trade has just posted this on its Smart Traveller social media sites – the Israel repatriation flights will not be departing today, or tomorrow.

The situation is highly challenging and rapidly changing. Unfortunately, we have been advised our scheduled flights will not depart Israel today. A further flight will not depart as scheduled tomorrow.

n

The Australian Government is working to ensure Australians who want to leave can do so as soon as possible. We will communicate to registered Australians about next available flights.

n

Australians in Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territories should register via https://crisis.dfat.gov.au/crisisportal/s/ or by calling the 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 (from overseas) or 1300 555 135 (from Australia)

Our political analyst Simon Jackman is projecting a likely no win in NSW and Tasmania.

In NSW, 6% of the expected vote has been counted from 18% of polling places, and yes is currently on 39%. Based on what we’re seeing it’s unlikely that other polling places will offset the lead that the no vote has.

In Tasmania, 20% of polling places are reporting, with a total of 7% of the vote for the state. Yes sits at 40%.

Again, it seems very unlikely that any of the remaining polling places will offset the no lead.

We have seen devastating loss of innocent life since the heinous attacks on Israel by brutal terrorist group Hamas.

n

Far from representing the Palestinian people, Hamas undermines Palestinian needs and aspirations.

n

We continue to call for the unconditional release of all hostages. We stand with Israel and reiterate its right to defend itself.

n

President Biden has called on Israel to operate by the rules of war in its response to Hamas attacks – we join him and others in that call.

n

We call for safe and unimpeded humanitarian access to civilians affected by the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

n

We call for the establishment of a corridor to enable humanitarian needs to be met. And we support the work of the United States, Egypt and others towards this goal.

n

Adherence to international humanitarian law must be prioritised – including the protection of civilians, wherever they live.”

Today is our opportunity to say yes to reconciliation, yes to listening, and yes to better results. We know that this has been a terrific opportunity for Australians to walk forward together.

And my message today to anybody who is still undecided is please take this opportunity to walk forward together as a united Australia to voter yes. To vote yes to recognition, yes to listening, yes to better results.

I’ve just got this message this morning to all of the Australian people thats are listening at your homes or if you’re watching this on your device: please make the effort to get out there and vote.

n

Please look through the noise, see what the truth of this is – that it’s an advisory committee, it’s a form of recognition that a majority of Indigenous people have invited you to say yes to. So go and vote, and be proud of this country and make us a better, more united and reconciled nation.

We’ve got Julian Leeser in the Liberals, we’ve got Andrew Gee from the Nationals, we see Julie Bishop walking alongside Penny Wong, and so this is something that is beyond politics.

n

And I ask people to put their political affiliations aside today, look at what this is about – simply recognising Indigenous people in the constitution and giving us a say, a fair go, an advisory committee. Australians have nothing to lose but everything to gain from saying yes. We can do this together as Australians.

If the opinion polls are correct, it is possible that most states will have a clear result in the first hour after the state’s count begins. It is highly likely the referendum will be decided before counting starts in Western Australia. If the results in southern states are very clear, we may even have a result before the first results report from Queensland.

Not politicians that purport to talk for us just like the one which now we have simply heard. Not having political events select Indigenous folks for us. However having us select our leaders ourselves. We received that proper.

I’m not blaming the Australian folks in any respect. However who I do blame and who I hope that the Australian folks look very carefully on the subsequent time they’ve a say on this democracy about who our management is, I hope they take a look at who lied to the Australian folks.

I feel Albanese was brave. I feel he was empathetic. I feel he genuinely wished this variation, and he has executed the fitting factor by placing it to the folks.

So it’s not his fault. It’s not the Australian folks’s fault. It’s the folks that have lied to us, to the Australian folks, they’re the Australian ones that we ought to be blaming.

Liberal senator Andrew Bragg, who was additionally part of the Liberals for Sure, has additionally launched a press release.

He stated he doesn’t imagine the result’s the tip of reconciliation or a vote towards Indigenous folks.

The federal government made three fateful selections which hobbled the referendum by eradicating the centre floor:

  1. The refusal to determine an extended operating parliamentary inquiry into constitutional reform fashions;

  2. Not publishing an publicity draft of the Voice and its capabilities; and

  3. The failure to compromise.

Regrettably, these components had been consequential.

I really feel for the Australians who imagine in a grassroots construction for giving recommendation to the federal government on particular legal guidelines and insurance policies for Indigenous folks. This has all the time been a superb and truthful thought. We must always all the time hearken to the grassroots.

The fact is Australia is a good nation, however traditionally, now we have not been an ideal nation for Indigenous folks.

Reconciliation of our nation should proceed. We must always work more durable to hear to at least one one other, discover widespread floor and make compromises if we’re to attain the required adjustments.

The rapid process within the weeks and the months forward might be to hearken to Indigenous folks.

For now, the nation is harm and now we have a lot to mirror upon.

Liberal senator Kerrynne Liddle says the anticipated No end result shouldn’t be a rejection of reconciliation, as an alternative blaming the failure of the referendum on a “flawed course of”.

Liddle, the senator from South Australia, stated voters had separated the referendum query into two questions – certainly one of Indigenous recognition, and one concerning the voice.

[Voters] didn’t say no to reconciliation. They didn’t say No to bettering the lives of Indigenous Australians. I’ve not heard that in all the discussions I’ve had since changing into a Member of Parliament simply over 12 months in the past. This was a few flawed course of,” she informed the ABC.

This was a few course of that didn’t contemplate that the Australian structure is a illustration of all Australians equally and there ought to have been a dialog with the Australian public earlier than placing such a divisive, unknown, dangerous proposition and everlasting proposition to the Australian folks.”

At this level within the depend it seems to be like all states are trending in direction of a no vote (polls haven’t closed in WA as but)

The favored vote additionally seems to be like struggling above 50%

Julian Leeser continues:

To each Indigenous Australian I say, this was a vote concerning the Structure, it was not a vote about you. It’s an indisputable fact that you’re our land’s first peoples and I honour you this night time.

I pledge every part in my being to maintain strolling the trail of reconciliation with you.

One of many heartening issues within the marketing campaign has been seeing the passionate and robust management proven by Indigenous leaders on either side. I acknowledge YES leaders corresponding to Linda Burney, Noel Pearson, Malarndirri McCarthy, Dean Parkin, Pat Dodson, Ken Wyatt, Karen Mundine, Marcia Langton and Rachel Perkins, in addition to the NO case leaders, Jacinta Nampijinpa Value, Kerrynne Liddle and Warren Mundine.

Personally, I really feel immense satisfaction within the tens of hundreds of volunteers who’ve campaigned for the YES vote. Attending to know so a lot of you, notably the a whole bunch in my Berowra group, is one thing that I’ll all the time maintain pricey.

I thank the folks in my social gathering and group who’ve stood alongside me on this marketing campaign.

Now that the referendum is over, Australia wants a time of reflection earlier than we contemplate our subsequent steps on our reconciliation journey.

We’d like one another. We belong to one another. We share this land – and we should stroll collectively in order that we are able to shut the gaps between us.

On Monday, Parliament returns. My hope is that in the course of the sitting week we’ll recommit to the trail of reconciliation. That is what all Australians, regardless of how they voted, anticipate of us
