The leaders of Australia’s state and territory governments will attend a Council for the Australian Federation meeting on Thursday. They are expected to sign a joint statement expressing support for an Indigenous voice to federal parliament. They have all previously publicly committed to backing the voice. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews says he will vote ‘yes’ at the upcoming referendum on the voice and has urged everyone to do so. Meanwhile, the South Australian government has committed to legislating an Indigenous voice to state parliament in 2023. The federal Liberal Party has yet to formally announce its position on the voice, while the Greens are expected to formalise their position at a two-strategy meeting on Wednesday and Thursday.
