That's one way to look at it, but there are many other characteristics such as education, income, distance from capital cities, age etc that are associated with a "no" vote.
If you look at Maranoa for instance, it is associated strongly with all of those (and as a side note, was also the electorate that voted most strongly against the 1999 referendum). And it isn't too surprising that Indigenous people live in some of these areas, given the issues with disadvantage that kicked off the whole issue.
