Top No campaigner shocks by calling for Australia to vote at ANOTHER referendum on Aboriginal people in the constitution

Leading Indigenous No campaigner Warren Mundine has called for a second referendum to recognise Aboriginal people in the constitution.

Speaking to ABC radio on Monday, he said he was would ‘love’ another vote – but stripped of the Voice  – and said most of Australians would do too.

‘Look, I’d love that, but most of Australia… our poll tells us that they want to do that as well,’ he said. 

‘But the issue we got, and we all know this is the leadership of Aboriginal community, other people out there, they don’t want to.’

He said the nation wanted constitutional recognition for Aborginal people but in a different form from the Indigenous Voice to Parliament which was heavily defeated in Saturday’s referendum,

Mr Mundine said the nation was focused on delivering a solution that promised clear results with ‘definite outcomes, with definite timeframes’.

He added: ‘The Australian people made it quite clear what the answer is.

‘During the campaign, I heard from everyone. They did want to see Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the Constitution as the first people of Australia. 

‘They rejected that, and they wanted governments to have practical outcomes for Indigenous people, find billions and billions of dollars that we spend every year.

‘They want to have a definite outcome with definite timeframes.’
