EXCLUSIVE: Peter Dutton says that even communities that support the Voice are calling for more detail about how it will work, as he warned Labor's proposal could 'override' local indigenous elders.
The opposition leader said there were many Indigenous leaders who would pull him aside after meetings to say he was right to ask for detail, because “they’ve got no idea how it's going to work”.
“And the questions around the implications of being in the Constitution need to be answered by the Prime Minister.” “It is profoundly undemocratic that a couple of tech company executives decide what Australians are allowed to hear in a debate," he said. However, Sheridan said there was one person in Australia who could ensure we have a proper debate about the Voice, and that is the opposition leader.

‘Uncertainty’ Labor is creating around super is ‘unnaceptable’: DuttonThe Opposition Leader has blasted the government for creating “uncertainty” around superannuation after changes to tax concessions for super-sized accounts were announced on Tuesday. Peter Dutton labelled the uncertainty being generated by the changes as “unacceptable”. “People who work hard for their super, enjoy a retirement as a result of their hard work,” Mr Dutton said during a media conference on Wednesday. “And if we walk away from that principle, which clearly the Labor Party has, I think it provides great uncertainty around superannuation as an asset class,” he said. “You can understand why a lot of Australians are really scratching their head about a Prime Minister that they now can’t trust.”
