Indigenous leader Noel Pearson says Garma should look beyond the outcome of the Voice to Parliament referendum after the measure fails. Both outlets report Pearson’s view that the “failure” is reflected across the referendum result map, using the colors blue and orange to describe areas where the proposal did not gain support. As Garma shifts attention to what comes next, Pearson calls for focusing on future actions rather than dwelling on the referendum defeat. The reports present the comments as part of a broader push for Indigenous leaders to continue working on priorities and reforms following the vote. Neither outlet provides new policy details or additional reactions from Garma directly, but both frame Pearson’s message as encouragement to transition from the referendum campaign to continued engagement and planning. The coverage emphasizes the referendum result as the starting point for the discussion, with Pearson positioning future work as the next step after the vote’s rejection.
