Australia's Federal Labor Party is no longer committed to holding a vote on whether Australia should become a republic within its first term of government.
The party is instead prioritizing a referendum to create an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, which would allow First Nations people a say on policies and laws affecting their communities.
During the last election, the Labor Party set aside $160 million for a plebiscite to determine support for a republic, before a referendum on what model that should take at a later date.
