At the Garma Festival Prime Minister Anthony Albanese make starling comments about his planning for a second attempt at a Voice for Parliament.
“The prime minister insists he’s not changing his position. Well, what’s the money in the budget? If the prime minister says he’s not changing his position? What is his position and why is there money in the budget for a Makarrata commission? – Peter Dutton
Peter Dutton continued: “Why has taxpayers’ money already been spent on establishing a makarrata commission? What will it do? Who will be appointed to it? What impact will it have on Indigenous people and communities and business?”
“The prime minister again is treating people, as he did through the course of the voice, by starving them of the detail that they need to get a better understanding of what he’s proposing. He does believe in the Makarrata commission. He said it on numerous occasions. He does believe in truth telling. He said it on multiple, multiple times.”
“The government is out there with slogans and solar panels that he claims won’t address the practical needs of Indigenous Australians.” “He’s done nothing. He’s spent half a billion dollars on the voice and divided the nation.”
“Anthony Albanese is talking out of both sides of his mouth and of pushing for a voice 2.0 over his personal support for a Makarrata commission.”
How might that work and what was the original strategy for the Voice Referendum?
