CANBERRA, Australia — Australia’s failed referendum on the Indigenous Voice has set back the government’s plans to cut the nation’s constitutional ties to Britain’s King Charles III, a minister said Thursday.
“In my view, it’s not off, but it does certainly make it a lot harder,” Thistlethwaite told Sky News Australia.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese made the Voice referendum a top priority for his center-left Labor Party government’s first three-year term when it was elected last year. The Voice referendum was Australia’s first in a generation. Australians rejected an Australian republic at their last referendum in 1999. No referendum has succeeded since 1977.
Opposition leader David Crisafulli explained he had hoped that a treaty would lead to better outcomes for the Indigenous population.“Sadly, over the past six months Australia and Queensland have been subject to one of the most divisive debates in my life,” Crisafulli said in a statement, referring to the referendum campaign.
