Liberal’s Voice decision about ‘party internals, not Indigenous people’: Linda Burney
Indigenous Minister Linda Burney has labelled the Liberal party’s decision to oppose the government’s Voice to the parliament model as one about “Liberal party internals”.
“Today’s decision is about Liberal Party internals. It has nothing to do with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, or taking Australia forward together,” Burney told reporters.
She said the government’s proposed Voice referendum was about recognition and listening to Indigenous Australians, and that the Liberal party decision to oppose the government’s proposal meant it failed to hone on these needs.
“Mr Dutton’s criticism is predictable but despite his obsession, their obsession with the prime minister, this is not about politicians. This is about closing the gap. Our guiding principle in this debate has been the Uluru Statement from the Heart.”
