Minister Wyatt bypassing referendum on indigenous voice is ‘undemocratic’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin has warned Indigenous Affairs Minister Ken Wyatt’s support for a 'voice to parliament' will cause “big ructions” within the conservative side of politics.\n\nThe Indigenous voice to parliament - one of the recommendations which came out of the Uluru Statement from the Heart – aims to establish a body that will advise the parliament on primarily indigenous affairs.\n\nCritics claim the body could effectively establish a third chamber of parliament.\n\n“Originally this voice concept was to be put to the people to vote on at a referendum,” Ms Credlin said.\n\n“But after admitting that the voters would not vote for it, Wyatt now wants to ram it through the parliament with the support of Labor and the Greens”.\n\n“That’s not how democracy works”.\n\nMs Credlin said she was worried where Minister Wyatt was headed with his policy proposals especially given the prime minister’s work load.\n\n“There’s a real risk he’ll undo decades of work bringing us together, with his push to return us to being separate”.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia

Turnbull government behind controversial logo change | Sky News AustraliaThe Chairman of Coopers Brewery and member of the Nation Brand Advisory Glenn Cooper has revealed the controversial decision to change Australia’s international logo was borne by former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull.\n\nHe said after the idea was put to Austrade by the Turnbull government, a National Group was started under the Chairmanship of Twiggy Forrest in collaboration with other high-profile figures. \n\n“I think one of the things that he saw, and I’ll make an assessment here, was what Canada has with the maple leaf and he saw how well the fern worked for New Zealand,” he told Sky News host Chris Smith. \n\nMr Smith said the old logo was “perfectly fine” and more importantly was widely recognised by the general public.\n\nHe said the decision to spend $10 million dollars worth of taxpayer's money to produce a new logo to coexist alongside the old one was just another 'fabulous legacy' of the Turnbull government. \n\nMr Cooper said he personally did not think the use of two logos was advisable. \n\n\n\n
