Shadow Immigration Minister Dan Tehan says if Anthony Albanese wants to do the “right thing” when it comes to the Voice to Parliament, he should sit down with Peter Dutton and “address all the questions” asked.
“The tragedy is, if Anthony Albanese as Prime Minister had reached across the aisle and shown true bipartisanship, then we wouldn’t be in this situation,” Mr Tehan told Sky News Australia.
“If he had’ve reached across the aisle, sat down with Peter Dutton, we wouldn’t be in this situation that we are, that we already have a ‘No’ case out there, putting arguments which really are about the lack of detail that we’ve seen from Anthony Albanese.”
