Australia to vote on proposed referendum on rights of indigenous people | Video
Australia will vote on a proposed referendum on Saturday (Oct 14) on whether the country's constitution should recognise First Nations people. This will allow Aborigines to advise the government directly on laws and policies that affect them. However, the vote threatens to split the nation, with "yes" and "no" campaigners deeply divided on the issue. Roger Maynard reports from Walgett, in far west New South Wales.
