The outcome of the referendum was that the Voice to Parliament proposal was defeated, with a majority of Australians voting against changing the constitution to recognize Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and create an Indigenous body called the Voice to Parliament that can provide advice to the government on Indigenous issues. The referendum failed to receive a majority of votes across the country, falling short with a projected percentage of 55% . All six states rejected the change, with Tasmania being the only state where the Yes vote was leading. The defeat of the referendum is a major setback to the countrys reconciliation efforts.
