what is the yes vote all about

The "yes" vote refers to the referendum on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament in Australia. A "yes" vote would mean that the Voice to Parliament would be enshrined in the constitution, giving distinct recognition to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that could not be reversed by future governments. The Voice to Parliament would enable self-determination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, providing opportunities to inform policy and legal decisions that affect them. The "yes" campaign asserts that this would be a practical solution to address the issues faced by Indigenous Australians. The "yes" vote is supported by individuals and groups who believe that the Voice to Parliament would provide a way for Indigenous Australians to have a say in decisions that affect their lives. The "yes" vote is also seen as a way to address past injustices and to move towards reconciliation.
