Source:The National Party has announced they will oppose constitutional recognition for First Nations people, saying the proposed Voice to Parliament will do nothing to close the gap.
The Warlpiri woman has been a vocal critic of the Voice, and reaffirmed her opposition to the proposal."One of our fundamental principles is that we are all regarded as equal under the law, despite race, despite gender, despite anything else. The existing proposals do not outline a governing body, but rather an advisory one, to be consulted on matters particularly pertinent to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
"I will be making sure that my community, as I’ve rung many and tragically, some of them don’t even know what the Voice is."
