Anthony Albanese has told colleagues there won’t be a formal review of Labor’s role in the failed Yes campaign.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has told colleagues there won’t be a formal review of Labor’s role in the failed Yes case, as he signalled a mooted crackdown on false and misleading political advertising could look at the Voice campaign.
Dutton sharply criticised the prospect of a national treaty with Indigenous Australians as something that “goes on for between 20 and 30 years” and in question time demanded the prime minister “inform the house whether or not he remains committed to a treaty and truth-telling”? Albanese accused Dutton of both supporting and opposing a second referendum on recognition of Indigenous Australians “depending upon whether you tune in to Channel Seven or Channel Nine”, after the opposition leader appeared to contradict himself during two breakfast TV interviews.
One MP, who asked not to be named, described the mood in caucus as “funereal” while another said it was “like someone had died”, but a third Labor MP – while acknowledging the damaging result – said the meeting had been collegiate and civilised.Although the outcome has raised questions about Labor’s campaign skills and the prime minister’s decisions on the Voice this year, MPs avoided statements that might hint at disunity.
