The Opposition's Position on the Vote

The voice is not just about being polite and respectful to Aboriginal people, far from it. It's about whether Australia belongs to all of us or just some of us. I don't think it's going to deliver the practical outcomes that we want for Indigenous people on the ground in places like Alice Springs. And if you only have regional and local voices and not a layer at the national level, then you continue to be working in silos as Indigenous people. If we're going to change the constitution, we need to understand what it's about and the government just can't explain that.
