Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister says he supports constitutional recognition of First Nations people and Peter Dutton's pledge for a second referendum if the Voice vote fails. “Yes, it’s been a long-standing position that the Coalition supports constitutional recognition of Indigenous people and First Australians,” Mr Birmingham told Sky News Australia. “I would hope that if the Voice referendum fails, we can go through a proper process that ultimately builds the type of broad consensus and support across the country that enables it to occur without the type of problems this referendum is encountering.”
