This entire thing was started under Malcom Turnbull, and Labor supported it from day one. The two major parties agree on most things, including this until LNP backflipped after the referendum had been called.

(Well, technically it dates back to about 1933... but there have been several failed attempts over the last hundred years with this latest one dating back to 2015 when LNP established a "Referendum Council" with the goal of adding an "indigenous voice" to the constitution)
