Defeated Voice referendum "major damage" to Albanese

A bridge too far for the Voice to Parliament referendum across the ditch. 

It sought to change Australia's constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing a body called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. 

But it was defeated, with all states voting no, and ACT the only region to vote yes. 

Australian Correspondent, Steve Price, told Mike Hosking that this is major damage for Anthony Albanese. 

He said that the moment he lost the Australian public was election night, when the first thing he said after winning was that they intend to implement the ‘Uluru: Statement from the Heart’ in full.
