The Central Land Council , one of four land councils in the Northern Territory, said the referendum result showed Australia was a “country that does not know itself”. The council said while the outcome was disappointing, it recognised the courage of the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, for bringing the request for a voice to a vote.
