The Prime Minister enlisting the support of sports stars for the Voice to Parliament’s campaign shows Australia’s sporting codes are being captured by politics, virtue signalling, and money, according to Sky News host Cory Bernardi.
“But in a world where sport is pitched as the ultimate in inclusiveness, it’s actually very hard to reconcile any sportsperson or any sporting code endorsing a move to carve out one group in our country as having more rights than the rest of us,” he said.
“That’s actually what the Voice does – it empowers a small group of Australians selected, not for their skills or their knowledge, but based entirely on their racial background and gives them primacy over the rest of us.”

The Voice ‘defines people by race’ instead of empowering First Nations peoplesThe Voice to Parliament “defines people by race” instead of empowering First Nations peoples, according to Shadow Veterans’ Affairs Minister Barnaby Joyce. “The first article that the United Nations Convention on Human Rights is that everybody will be treated with equal dignity and equal rights,” he told Sky News Australia. “This of course is that some people will be treated differently on the premise of the colour of the skin or DNA. “That philosophically creates problems for me because it says that there’s like a deficiency almost if you are of a certain race and you’re not. “What’s happening in Alice Springs is not determined by the colour of people’s skin it’s the term by the circumstances they live in.”

Peter Dutton to ‘campaign against’ Indigenous Voice to ParliamentThe Australian’s Lead Writer Graham Lloyd says Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has declared he will “campaign against” the Voice to Parliament. “It’s been a very significant week in the Voice this week because Peter Dutton has declared he will campaign against it, history shows if there is an effective No campaign, referendums struggle very much to get up,” Mr Lloyd told Sky News Australia. “The Prime Minister is making that things have changed, and he is really saying we’ve entered a new more co-operative style of politics, which is probably wishful thinking in a big regard.”
