Indigenous voice to parliament intention test: How will you vote?

The referendum on the Voice is days away, and Australians should be turning their attention to how they will vote. Take this test to help you decide.

Since Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the voice to parliament referendum would take place, there has been loads of speculation about what it really means.

The ‘Yes” and ‘No’ campaign supporters have been spruiking information to get Australians on board to their side but many citizens are still confused about how they will vote.

Now that the date has been set for Saturday, October 14, Australians are turning their attention to how they will vote.

And many are still undecided.

This interactive from 11-question test has been created based on statements from the ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ pamphlets, so you can see which side you’re more aligned to.

TAKE THE TEST:

What is the Voice?

The Indigenous voice to parliament will be a permanent, independent, representative advisory body for First Nations people to advise the Australian parliament and government on the views of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

What happens if we vote yes?

If Australians vote ‘Yes’, the constitution will be amended and federal parliament will meet to pass legislation creating the voice.

This debate will include practical measures, such as how members of the voice are elected or appointed, where they will meet and how often, and what they will be able to advise upon, and how that advice will be given.

The legislation will also set out limits to the voice’s power, including to what extent the voice’s advice must be accepted by the parliament and government — and what happens if the government or parliament rejects the voice’s advice.

What happens if we vote no?

Nothing. The constitution will remain unchanged and the voice will not be established.
