From some more reading, it looks like the no vote very closely correlates with conservative voting regions, so while the progressive no voters presumably had some impact, it looks like the referendum outcome is largely due to anti indigenous sentiment. I'm not sure weather this is more concerning, or the fact that the no campaign pretty much fully controlled the narrative with social and news media misinformation and manipulation.
