Katter’s Australian Party Leader Robbie Katter says the Voice to Parliament referendum is being “railroaded by the left woke agenda” and is taking away from those who are well-meaning in their cause.
“I will not tolerate this hypocrisy forced on us and I think the whole thing has been railroaded by the left-woke agenda that just wants to drive this stuff into us, and I think it’s unfortunate for a lot of the well-meaning advocates of Aboriginal people and of First Australians,” Mr Katter Sky News Australia.
“They’ve been hijacked through this to say that this is the panacea of all your problems, and I think that’s pretty cruel in a way – it’s divisive, we’re all one nation and we need to move ahead together.”
