A Local Culinary Adventure: inspired by Halifax's Seaport Market | SaltWire #cooking #cookingtipsSYDNEY - Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Sunday he remained hopeful a referendum to recognise the country's Indigenous people in the constitution would succeed, even as the measure lags in opinion polls less than a week from the vote.

Albanese's centre-left Labor government backs the referendum, while the opposition Liberal-National conservatives urge a"No" vote on Oct. 14. Nationally, opponents lead the yes campaign by 53% to 38%, according to an opinion poll last week. Most Indigenous people favour the change, but some say it is a distraction from achieving practical and positive outcomes and would not fully resolve the issues affecting them. The political opposition says the measure is divisive, would be ineffective and would slow government decision-making.
