Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has reiterated that enshrining an Indigenous Voice to parliament in the Constitution is a "modest request". He adds that the federal government will not seek to legislate a Voice to parliament if the upcoming referendum is rejected by voters, arguing that Indigenous Australians have not asked for this. Meanwhile, Indigenous leader Warren Mundine has rejected suggestions that the ‘No’ campaign is using the issue of a treaty to wage a scare campaign against the Voice. Mundine opposes the Voice but says he has been a supporter of the treaty process for more than three decades.
