SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese voted on Saturday in a referendum to recognise the country's Indigenous people in the constitution, a week from a national polling day on the measure that is trailing in opinion surveys.

Albanese's centre-left Labor government backs the change, while the opposition Liberal-National conservatives urge a vote of "No". Opponents lead the yes camp by 53% to 38%, according to an opinion poll this week.
