Sky News host Andrew Bolt has slammed Indigenous Affairs Minister Linda Burney’s “pathetic” response to a question in Parliament on Wednesday. Ms Burney was asked how the Voice to Parliament will reconcile different or competing priorities between the many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, customs, languages and laws. The minister responded to the question by listing off the proposed question and amendments for the referendum. “That was an abuse of Parliament’s time,” Mr Bolt said. “If the minister for the Voice cannot even answer a question like that about the Voice, how can you trust the Voice she's selling?”

Andrew Bolt slams ‘race baiter’ Marcia Langton after calling out No campaignersSky News host Andrew Bolt has slammed Professor Marcia Langton as a “race baiter” after she claimed the ‘No’ campaign is based on “racism” or “sheer stupidity”. The professor’s controversial comments were made during a forum hosted by Edith Cowan University after being asked why so many Australians were undecided on the referendum. “Every time the No cases raise their arguments, if you start pulling it apart, you get down to base racism – I’m sorry to say that’s where it lands – or sheer stupidity,” Professor Langton said. Mr Bolt claims the professor knows the Voice is “doomed” and has now “thrown her toys out of the cot”. “Langton – a professor at Melbourne University, mind you – has a terrible record for calling people racist when she can't win an argument,” he said.

Referendum not about reparations but about entrenching a Voice in constitution: BurneyIndigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney has made clear that the upcoming referendum isn’t about reparations but about entrenching a Voice in the constitution. Australians are set to head to the ballot box in October to vote in the Voice referendum. Recent polling has suggested that a majority of voters will vote against the Voice after it was revealed in a survey by Strategic Resolve that the overall No vote has grown to 57 per cent from 54 per cent last month. “It is about listening, it is about making sure that we collectively, as a parliament, get advice directly from First Nations people, and it will result in better outcomes – that is what the referendum is about,” Ms Burney said during Question Time on Tuesday. “This is above politics – this is about making sure that our founding document, the big lawbook of this country, reflects the truth about something that we should be all proud of.”
