Australia's Emotional Referendum Decision for Indigenous Rights
TL;DR Summary
Australians will vote in the country's first referendum in 24 years on whether to recognize Indigenous peoples in the Constitution and create an Indigenous body to advise the Federal Parliament on policies and projects relating to Indigenous people. The wording of the question will be introduced to Parliament next week, and a parliamentary committee will be formed to consider submissions before a parliamentary vote in June. The referendum itself is slated for sometime between October and December this year.
