Australians have resoundingly rejected a proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in its constitution and establish a body to advise parliament on Indigenous issues.

Saturday’s voice to parliament referendum failed, with the defeat clear shortly after polls closed.

        In the US a “mob” isn’t necessarily violent. You have peaceful mobs, and even just generic “mobs of people everywhere”. A mob is just a group of people.

        In the US a mob is also a type of crime organisation.

        In Australia it means the exact same thing. However, in addition to that, it can also mean something else, thanks to the actual meaning (a group of people) and context.
