In both the lead up to, and in the aftermath of, the 2023 referendum on the proposal to enshrine an Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the Australian Constitution, Indigenous people, organisations and communities reported increased levels of racism and anti-Indigenous animus. Despite this, public opinion data collected during the campaign has tended to downplay and/or ignore the role that racism played in the referendum debate and outcome. This chapter examines this dynamic through an analysis and [re] reading of a study conducted by the Australian National University’s Centre for Social and Research and Methods, which tracked views and attitudes to the Voice proposal between January and October 2023. Applying the lenses of racial resentment, settler colonialism and colour-blind racism, this chapter contends that the successful no vote was more than simply a rejection of the Voice mechanism and instead was driven by racial resentment, which informed the views held by voters who reject Indigenous self-determination and sovereignty.
