IN FULL: Anthony Albanese and Linda Burney speak after Voice defeat | SBS News

Anthony Albanese insists the Reconciliation process will continue.
"The issues we sought to address have not gone away, and neither have the people of goodwill and good heart who want to address them and address them we will," he says.
"From tomorrow, we will continue to write the next chapter in that great Australian Story, and we will write it together, and reconciliation must be a part of that chapter."
The prime minister praised the "remarkable" Indigenous Australians who had poured their "heart and soul into this cause".
"Not just over the past few weeks and months, but through decades, indeed lifetimes, of advocacy," he says.
"I have been honoured and humbled to stand by you and witness your extraordinary courage and grace, your great love for our country and your deep faith in our people, none less than my friend standing with me here today," referring to Minister for Indigenous Australians, Linda Burney.
"You continue to inspire me and make me prouder than ever to be Australian."
