What is the difference between referendum and plebiscite?

A referendum seeks to amend the Australian Constitution. It is the only way the Constitution can be changed – by a vote of the people. However, it requires a ‘double majority’ – a majority of all voters across the nation and a majority of the states. Voting in referenda is compulsory. Referenda are binding on the government.

A plebiscite is sometimes called an ‘advisory referendum’ because the government does not have to act upon its decision. Plebiscites do not deal with Constitutional questions but issues on which the government seeks approval to act, or not act. As with referenda, plebiscites require an enabling Act of Parliament. Whether or not a plebiscite is to be based on compulsory voting is determined by the enabling Act.
