Lawson Broad told Sky News Australia he had resigned from his position and given up his CLP membership after the party passed a resolution last month to oppose the Voice.
“I was recently on a leave-of-absence due to personal and work commitments and during that period the party resolved to take several formal policy positions to which I am personally strongly opposed,” he said.
“My personal view is that these positions are offensive to a large number of Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory and the population more generally. “By their nature, they have the potential to further entrench Aboriginal disadvantage and they create opportunity to be interpreted as racist.” The CLP’s NT leader Lia Finocchiaro has not ruled out supporting the proposal for constitutional recognition but has asked for more detail.
