Some interesting data analysis here. I’ll pose the same question as the author:

…by majority vote, Australians have made clear that a constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament is not how they want to respond to these crises.
An urgent question emerges — what is?

    A family member recons “Don’t know/Unsure” should have been a 3rd option in the ballot, and not counted, as a way to deal with indifferent voters.

    Either way I’m disappointed for the 80% indigenous communities that needed our support.

      My advice to people who expressed confusion/uncertainty was to ask themselves the same two questions I asked myself on the same sex marriage plebiscite:

      1. How does this affect you?
      2. What does it mean to those who want it?

      The answer (for someone with a conscience) is usually pretty straightforward.
