A bill that will allow for the Voice to Parliament referendum to proceed has been introduced into the House of Representatives in Canberra. The Constitution Alteration Bill will enable the referendum to be held for people to vote on whether or not to enshrine a proposed Voice to Parliament into the constitution and formally recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the First Peoples of Australia.
