Australia has set the date for a historic referendum to change the country’s constitution in order to recognise its indigenous people, CNN reported.
More than 17 million registered voters across the country will vote on October 14 to decide on whether to change the constitution to recognize the land’s original inhabitants through a First Nations advisory group with a direct line to the government.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Wednesday said, “On that day, every Australian will have a once-in-a-generation chance to bring our country together and to change it for the better.”
