Nationals leader David Littleproud says he does not support a legislated version of an Indigenous Voice, despite the Liberals backing the model.
The Liberals are in support of legislating regional voices rather than having a body enshrined in the constitution.
While the Liberals have come out against the Indigenous Voice referendum, the opposition has called for local and regional Voices to be legislated rather than having a body enshrined in the constitution.
The state opposition leader said he would vote Yes in the upcoming referendum, saying he believed the potential rewards outweighed possible risks in establishing the body."Mark Speakman's a good person and a great opposition leader in NSW and I support him, but I don't agree with him on this issue," she told Sky News on Sunday.
"Mark Speakman has shown real leadership by supporting constitutional recognition for Indigenous people and giving them a say on matters that affect them to help close the gap," Gordon said.
