Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says there is a “resounding no” to the Prime Minister’s “Canberra Voice” as the proposal will not solve issues on the ground for Indigenous communities. “The Liberal Party resolved today to say yes to constitutional recognition for Indigenous Australians, yes to a local and regional body, so we can get practical outcomes for Indigenous people on the ground, but there was a resounding no to the Prime Minister’s Canberra voice,” Mr Dutton said during a media conference on Wednesday.
“It should be very clear to Australians by now the Prime Minster is dividing our country and the Liberal Party seeks to unite our country, we want to make sure we can get the best possible outcomes for Indigenous Australians and we do that through recognising Indigenous Australians in the constitution and by providing for their say, their voice to be heard by government in a very clear way but at a local level.
“Having a Canberra voice is not going to resolve the issues on the ground in Indigenous communities.”

Peter Dutton needs a new vision for the Liberal party: Graham RichardsonOpposition leader Peter Dutton doesn’t need to reset his goals – he needs to set new values the Liberals can strive for and cherish, says former Labor minister Graham Richardson. Mr Dutton needs to focus on getting these new goals “into the public” because no one knows what the Coalition stands for, Mr Richardson told Sky News Australia. “Peter Dutton doesn’t have to reset himself, he just has to reset some of the goals of the Liberal party,” said Mr Richardson. “No one really knows now what the Liberal party stands for – It’s very hard for anyone to define what the Liberal party stands for, as we speak.”
