This is the best summary I could come up with:
Australians will decide the fate of a constitutionally-enshrined Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament on October 14.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese officially set the date during a visit to Adelaide, sending the nation to the polls for the first referendum in more than two decades.
The proposed Voice would have the power to advise the parliament and federal government on matters that affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The last time a federal government held a referendum was in 1999 when the republic vote failed.
"A Proposed Law: to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.
As well as that, it will be put to Australians that the constitution be amended to include a new chapter titled "Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples".
