The issue of the referendum on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament consumed discussion across Australia for ten months and more leading to the referendum on Saturday 14 October 2023 at which the Yes case was lost overwhelmingly - going down 39 per cent to 61 per cent No. There was a week of mourning for those Indigenous who had supported the Voice. Many were in shock. Whatever the rationalisations about the result, further moves to a resolution of Indigenous recognition need to be made. To discuss the referendum and its consequences, The Sydney Institute hosted Paul Kelly, Editor-at-large at The Australian and Anne Twomey, Professor Emerita at the University of Sydney, who spoke for The Sydney Institute on Monday 27 November 2023.
