Referendum working group member and Uluru Statement advocate Thomas Mayo says Peter Dutton's comments to the media about the Voice are 'disappointing' and do not reflect what he said when he met with the group.
Speaking with the ABC's Afternoon Briefing, Mr Mayo said that was not what Mr Dutton said during the meeting.
"I say to Mr Dutton, please stay engaged with the working group. That is certainly the desire of the working group," she said. "If all of that detail was put before the referendum, then Australians would think that that is what they're voting for," he said.
