John Howard has claimed Australians are feeling resentment about the"condescending advice" from large corporations and sporting codes publicly supporting the Voice to Parliament.
Former prime minister John Howard has criticised businesses and sporting codes for publicly supporting the Voice to Parliament and speaking on behalf of individuals.

“There’s no way a body like the AFL could know what their fans want, there’s no way Cricket Australia could know what their fans want, or the NRL or Rugby Australia and I just think it’d be better if they said nothing.” Mr Howard’s comments echoed similar remarks made by former prime minister Tony Abbott, who told 2GB in July that “woke foundations and woke billionaires” are “pouring in their virtue signalling money”.
