Peter Dutton has clarified his push for a second referendum if the Voice to Parliament fails and he wins majority next federal election.
The Opposition Leader over the weekend revealed he take the country through another referendum to formally acknowledge First Nations people through the constitution. “My first preference is that this referendum doesn't go ahead at all because it's clear the Prime Minister is dividing the country, one in three Labor voters no aren't voting for the Voice,” he said on Wednesday night.
“But I think most Australians want to see a better outcome for Indigenous Australians particularly in places like Alice Springs, want to see kids go to school, want to see crime rates reduced, want to see job outcomes,” he said on Wednesday night. Voters just did not support Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Voice proposal because they do not want it in the constitution, the Opposition Leader said.
Australians will vote on the Voice to Parliament referendum on Saturday, October 14.
