SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia is scheduled to hold a referendum on Oct. 14 to decide whether to create a constitutionally enshrined Indigenous advisory body to parliament, as requested by the country's Indigenous leaders in 2017.
Since the referendum concerns a change to Australia's constitution and is unrelated to party politics - officially, anyway - the campaigns for and against the proposal are decentralised.
