Having a referendum on whether to create an Indigenous Voice to Parliament
People who support this policy believe that there should be a public referendum on the question of whether the Constitution should be amended to include a requirement for an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to federal parliament, such as that envisaged by the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
View on They Vote For You →How each party's members voted
Each bar is 100% of a party's current members in the House of Representatives whom They Vote For You places in one of its seven agreement groups for this policy (its own categories, shown as published). Bars show percentages of members, not vote totals; the number beside each bar is how many members that is. Members They Vote For You says haven't cast enough votes on the policy are counted separately, not in the bars.
