Australians will soon vote on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum, with the Senate concluding months of parliamentary procedures.
The vote requires Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to set a referendum date before the end of the year- the first held since 1999.
Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says the polls aren't in favour of the referendum, with 60 percent of voters voicing disapproval.
Oliver Peterson says critics of the Voice are concerned that the advisory body may try to sway the direction of other movements and influence Parliament.
