Campaigners against an Indigenous Voice to Parliament have called for constitutional recognition of migrants alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Supporters of the"no" campaign for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament have urged for Indigenous people and migrants to be constitutionally recognised.
Leading advocates against an Indigenous Voice to Parliament have called for constitutional recognition of migrants to Australia alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Mr Mundine said while Indigenous recognition was needed, an enshrined voice would not be part of that as it would not be able to solve issues affecting Indigenous communities.
"For the people to be recognised, it's important to listen to us about how we seek to be recognised.""Australians are tired of symbolism, just as Indigenous people are tired of symbolism — we want something very practical," he said. "[It's about] whether we have the confidence to acknowledge the fullness of our history. But it's also about how the world sees Australia as well. Whether we're a mature nation that's able to reconcile and move forward."Anthony Albanese responds to 'radical' Voice opponents as Australians urged to 'inform themselves'

Albanese needs to show ‘true bipartisanship’ on Voice to ParliamentShadow Immigration Minister Dan Tehan says if Anthony wants to do the “right thing” when it comes to the Voice to Parliament, he should sit down with Peter Dutton and 'address all the questions' asked. This comes as a formal ‘No’ campaign is set to launch today, led by a six-member committee. “The tragedy is, if Anthony Albanese as Prime Minister had reached across the aisle and shown true bipartisanship, then we wouldn’t be in this situation,” Mr Tehan told Sky News Australia. “If he had’ve reached across the aisle, sat down with Peter Dutton, we wouldn’t be in this situation that we are, that we already have a ‘No’ case out there, putting arguments which really are about the lack of detail that we’ve seen from Anthony Albanese.”
