From ABC
The Liberal Party has announced its formal opposition to the federal government’s model for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, after a party room meeting in Canberra.
Key points:
- Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says the party does support constitutional recognition
- He says the Liberals will advocate for the policy of regional and local voices they took to the election
- At least one Liberal MP has confirmed they do not agree with the party’s position
Australians will vote later this year on whether an independent advisory body for First Nations people should be enshrined in the constitution.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton said while the Opposition supported recognition of First Nations people in the constitution, it does not support a constitutionally enshrined consultative body.
“The Liberal Party resolved today to say yes to constitutional recognition for Indigenous Australians,” he said.
But Mr Dutton said the party had issued a “no” to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his government’s proposal.
“It should be very clear to Australians by now that the prime minister is dividing the country and the Liberal Party seeks to unite the country,” he said.
“We went to the last election with local and regional voices, that is essentially the policy we continue on with, it has been well worked through.”

Ok, now we might get somewhere. Local and regional voices versus Canberra elite voice.

Hehehe… Surely no-one with half a brain really thinks the Voice is something that’s intended to give a voice to the people, Aboriginal or not.
Own nothing, be happy. Stupidity will get you there faster than most things.

“Former Indigenous Australians minister Ken Wyatt quits Liberal Party over its Voice stance”
There are plenty of voices within this article.
“Mr Wyatt , a long-term advocate for the Voice, told The West Australian on Thursday: “I still believe in the Liberal Party values but I don’t believe in what the Liberals have become.
Aboriginal people are reaching out to be heard but the Liberals have rejected their invitation.”
and
“Labor Senator Pat Dodson told ABC News that Mr Wyatt “wouldn’t have taken this decision lightly”.
“He would have [had angst] over it. And I’m sure he would be very disappointed that his party has shown absolutely no regard for the Aboriginal people, their leadership, and their efforts to find an accommodation with the Australian people through a Voice to Parliament,” he said
His resignation comes as Noel Pearson, a Guugu Yimithirr man and one of the chief architects of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, said Mr Dutton will “bring the country to shame” by campaigning against the Voice, accusing him of “trying to bury” the Uluru Statement Statement from the Heart.”
and
“Mr Pearson said he was “completely confounded” by Coalition Indigenous Australians spokesperson Julian Leeser casting doubt over how Aboriginality would be defined for prospective Voice members.
“I’m wondering whether Julian expects us to wear a tattoo, identifying ourselves as Indigenous. Is that what he’s saying?” he asked.
“Or that our clothes should be adorned with some kind of badge identifying us as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander?
“I think it’s a completely dangerous idea and suggestion, and extremely offensive. But it’s the kind of thing that will be raised time and again over the next six months.”
and
“Thomas Mayo, a member of the Voice working group, told SBS News that Mr Dutton’s framing of the issue as a “Canberra Voice” was “disingenuous”.
Mr Mayo — a Kaurareg Aboriginal and Kalkalgal, Erubamle Torres Strait Islander man — stressed the Uluru Statement from the Heart emerged from years of consultation with regional communities and was “driven by the grassroots”.
“Mr Mayo said recent polling conducted by Newspoll revealed a majority support for the Voice in most states, which showed the Liberals were “behind the times”, he said.”
and yet another voice
“Assistant Minister for Indigenous Australians Malarndirri McCarthy also addressed the Liberal party’s stance, describing the announcement as “very disappointing”.

betty mac said – “Since becoming leader of the Opposition he seems to have lost all understanding of what Australians need .”
TBH I doubt Dutton or ANY of the rest of them (with a few notable exceptions) give a rat’s arse about what Australians need.
These bastards don’t even live in the same Galaxy, let alone on the same planet, as the rest of us downtrodden ordinary Australians.
Of course, all of that goes without saying, seeing as how they’re on the payroll of a corporation registered on the US stock exchange, and they’re all so very determined to climb that ladder as high as they can and run away with as much loot as they can, just like that unelected arsehole AnAL and serial child molester and Hillsong paedophile-protector “Scotty from Marketing” before him.
betty mac also said – “I hope this turn around shows a new beginning for the Liberals…they need to STAND UP for Aussies, NOT lie down!”
I see a new beginning for the Liberals – all STANDING UP under the gallows with hoods over their heads and nooses around their necks, alongside the REST of the treasonous genocidal mongrels that have SLAUGHTERED tens of thousands of innocent Australians with HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS more to come, all while selling Australia up the creek to a pack of Satanic baby-eating Globalists.
betty mac also said – “Mr Dutton, the only way the Libs will get the vote of the Aussie people is if they stop this Voice and Digital id danger coming our way.”
In the words of a famous Australian occasional rich bastard – Pig’s Arse!
Has the penny not yet dropped? Do you still actually think “voting” means ANYTHING here in Australia?
Have you not visited a CEMETERY lately?
You really think the Globalist collective has any intention of halting their multi-pronged assault on ALL AUSTRALIANS on the way to their permanent wet-dream of Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset?
Good luck to all those chickens out there who STILL BELIEVE it’s a workable game-plan to strike up negotiations with the foxes. Here’s a clue – from the chicken’s perspective, the only good fox is swinging by the neck from a lamp post.

Dutton can be strong, but since becoming leader he seems to listen to too many wishy-washy-woke numpties who don’t belong in the ‘old’ Liberal Party.
Which is why so many people no longer vote for Liberals, leaving the way open for the ALP/G/T coalition to win!
