The initial vote trends suggested it would fail in all of the states as well as the Northern Territory, the sparsely populated region in the middle of the country, where a large portion of the country\u2019s rural indigenous population lives.<\/p>\n<p>Albanese said on Saturday night that Australia \u201cmust seek a new way forward with the same optimism\u201d that launched the original proposal.<\/p>\n<p>The No vote, backed by the opposition Liberal and National parties, gained momentum after the Yes campaign failed to build support in the run-up to the country\u2019s first referendum since 1999.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal was criticised on a number of fronts, ranging from a lack of detail about the structure of the advisory body to whether it would divide the country along racial and ancestral lines. No Australian referendum has passed without bipartisan support. <\/p>\n<p>Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, the opposition indigenous affairs spokesperson who has been the face of the No campaign in recent weeks, said she was proud that Australians had refused to back what she called a divisive referendum. \u201cWe are absolutely not a racist country,\u201d she said of the public rejection of the Voice.<\/p>\n<p>Linda Burney, the government\u2019s indigenous Australians minister, said it was \u201ca day of sadness\u201d but that the campaign had at least highlighted the gap between indigenous and non-indigenous Australia. \u201cThis is not the end of reconciliation,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/0162d3b0-fe2a-40bf-9862-3ec36df58d67\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlock the Editor\u2019s Digest for free Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
