REUTERS/Loren ElliottSYDNEY -Early results from Australia's historic referendum to recognise Indigenous people in the constitution suggest the proposal will be rejected, in a setback to the country's efforts for reconciliation with its First Peoples.
Counting is under way in three of Australia's eastern states and its capital region. Voting continues in West Australia, Queensland, South Australia and the Northern Territory, which are in earlier time zones. The Voice to Parliament was proposed in the Uluru Statement from the Heart, a 2017 document crafted by Indigenous leaders that set out a roadmap for reconciliation with wider Australia.
In 1967 a referendum to count Indigenous people as part of the Australian population was a resounding success with bipartisan political support. The 2023 referendum has not garnered unified political support, with leaders of the major conservative parties campaigning for a"No" vote.
