Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is confident that the referendum on an Indigenous Voice to parliament will be passed. Albanese has stated that he is "not contemplating failure", although he has refused to rule out the option of legislating the Voice if the ‘No’ vote prevails. He has merely stated that there will be no constitutional change if the Voice referendum is rejected by voters. Meanwhile, Opposition leader Peter Dutton has again urged Labor to legislate the Voice before seeking to enshrine it in the Constitution.
