Opposition leader Peter Dutton has expressed disappointment in Prime Minister Anthony Albanese after the Voice to Parliament referendum failed.
The Liberal leader criticised both the proposal and the process, accusing the Prime Minister of not being across the detail. “People from all sides of this debate are rightly and understandably disappointed with the Prime Minister,” he said during a media conference. “He has held the pen of this divisive chapter in our nation's history and if he has any strength in his leadership, he must take responsibility for it.”
Mr Dutton added that the Albanese government was “consumed” by the referendum and focused on the “wrong priorities”.
