Why have a referendum?

A referendum will be held in Australia this year, and voters will be asked if the Constitution should be altered to recognise the First Peoples of Australia, by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, but with this being our first referendum in over 20 years, many people may have no experience with the process.
