Voice to parliament referendum fails in defeat that Indigenous advocates will see as a blow to progress towards reconciliation

    How would someone unfamiliar with Australia, unfamiliar with our laws, unfamiliar with our methods of referenda get the information better from the pamphlets over asking Australians?

    The pamphlets have falsehoods. They are released by the election commission. People not from Australia would assume it is verified information if it’s in an election commission pamphlet, for instance.

    Rather than being helpful, your comment in unnecessarily combative, while being confidently incorrect.
