Australia says 'no' - 13th November 2023
People in Australia had an important vote. The vote was to have a new group in parliament. This group was for indigenous peoples. Australia's indigenous communities came to Australia over 60,000 years ago.
The name of the new group was 'The Voice'. The Voice planned to give politicians ideas from indigenous communities. It was a way to find new solutions to problems.
It was a popular idea at first. But this changed. Social media posts may be the reason for this. Some people worried about The Voice. It may be very powerful.
Most Australians voted 'no' to The Voice. This was a surprise. But 80 percent of indigenous people voted 'yes'.
In the past, parliament had groups like The Voice. But in 2019, the government ended this.
The Voice may have a future. Parliament can vote for it too. It's a way for politicians to hear ideas from all Australians.
