Abstract
Objective: Many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians are dismayed by the rejection of the 2023 Voice Referendum and its amplification of social divisions. This article considers a recent article in Australasian Psychiatry in which matters of motivation, process and outcome are raised that provides the scaffolding to explore these issues.
Conclusions: The breakdown of bipartisan political support and subsequent politicisation of the Referendum process resulted in claims regarding the reasons for and consequences of the Referendum that were not consistent with the process leading to the Uluru Statement. The outcome has been socially divisive and a cause of significant distress for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, the majority of whom voted in support of the Voice.
