Abstract
The article discusses a comprehensive history of constitutional change in Australia, particularly in light of the recent failure of the 2023 referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. It highlights the book's thorough examination of referendums, including methodologies and historical context, while noting its potential challenges in accessibility for different educational levels. The authors advocate for the role of referendums in democracy, emphasizing the need for bipartisanship and public engagement to achieve successful outcomes. The article also reflects on the historical context of referendum failures in Australia, suggesting that the current political climate may hinder future efforts for constitutional change.
