Dr Webster says the No campaign was about uniting Australia.

The Member for Mallee says many in the community and across the country stand with First Nations people and want better outcomes.

And while she says people didn’t believe another body was the way to go, indigenous recognition is important.

Member for Farrer Sussan Ley says she’s still committed to Indigenous communities and closing the disadvantage gap.
