Indigenous relations have taken a beating in votes in both Australia and New Zealand
Indigenous people in Australasia have had a tough month. In a referendum on October 14th Australian voters rejected their Labor government’s proposal to establish an indigenous advisory body, or “Voice to Parliament”. On the same day New Zealanders elected the most conservative governing coalition since the adoption of proportional representation in 1993. The new prime minister, Chris Luxon, pledges to scrap policies designed to boost Maori influence in politics.
It “doesn’t indicate that Australians are unsympathetic” to Aboriginal people, argues Greg Melleuish of the University of Wollongong, but that “they did not think this was the way to solve their problems.” Aussies are always reluctant to change their constitution; only eight of 45 referendums on doing so have succeeded. And no-campaigners could cite particular reasons for caution in this case.
