The Coalition is proposing Australia hold a second referendum to acknowledge Indigenous Australians in the Constitution if the Indigenous Voice to Parliament fails to pass on Oct. 14.

The comments follow the release of polling that indicates 53 percent of Australians do not plan to tick yes in the upcoming vote, while a further nine percent are undecided.
