Year in Review: Australia 2023

Selvi reviews major events, news and stories that made the headlines in Australia in 2023.

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - OCTOBER 14: AEC staff count votes at a vote counting centre on October 14, 2023 in Melbourne, Australia. A referendum for Australians to decide on an indigenous voice to parliament was held on October 14, 2023 and compelled all Australians to vote by law. Early voting began on Oct. 2, and activity has been intensifying in both the YES and NO camps, with multiple polls showing the YES campaign headed for defeat nationally. Australia requires a "double majority" of both the states and voters across the country to trigger constitutional changes, with most referendums in the past having failed.
