Hurt ripples in wake of Indigenous Voice vote

Nigel Browne woke up on Sunday questioning his place in Australia - a painfully ironic fate for one of its First Peoples.

There was no expectation the "Voice to Parliament" - an advisory body made up of Indigenous people - would be a miracle cure for the problems they face.
