Former Nationals leader John Anderson says the Indigenous Voice to Parliament will achieve the opposite of what Australians want, which is a “greater degree of harmony”.
The no campaign – Recognise a Better Way – for a Voice to Parliament has officially launched with a six-member committee, which Mr Anderson is a part of.
“I’m keen to join with four Aboriginal people – distinguished Aboriginal Australians – who can recognise that this is not ultimately going to advance the interest of Aboriginal people,” he told Sky News host James Morrow.“We need to be focusing on unity and cooperation internally, not separatism.”
