By Tom WilliamsThe Liberal Party will meet in Canberra today to discuss an Indigenous Voice to parliament, ahead of a referendum later this year on whether the independent advisory body for First Nations people should be enshrined in the constitution.Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has summoned party members for the meeting, where MPs are expected to land a formal position on the Voice.
Some elected Liberals are calling for a conscience vote, with NSW senator Andrew Bragg and Victoria's Jason Wood saying that is in line with party tradition. Former minister Ken Wyatt, the first Indigenous person to be elected to the House of Representatives, has also called on the Liberal Party to allow a conscience vote, saying he expects many to back the 'yes' campaign if given the chance.
In an address to the National Press Club this week, shadow attorney-general Julian Leeser questioned the timing of the proposal and urged the Albanese government to delay the referendum.Share post
