Australia's Government is back to the drawing board after the failed Voice Referendum.

All but one state voted No to changing the constitution to allow an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, with a nationwide support of around 40 percent.

Australia's former ambassador to the United States, John McCarthy, has claimed this rejection will be viewed negatively by the wider Asia-Pacific region.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds explains what this means for the future of Australia's Government.
