TL;DR Summary

Latest polls indicate that Australia's referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, which aims to create an Indigenous advisory body and recognize First Nations people in the constitution, is likely to fail. The survey shows declining national support, with only Tasmania backing the proposal. Queensland and Western Australia have the strongest opposition, while New South Wales and Victoria are also moving against it. The referendum is scheduled for October 14, and campaign group Yes23 claims that the Voice has the support of over 80% of Indigenous Australians.
