Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has firmly blamed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for the disastrous fall in support for the Voice to Parliament.
As Mr Albanese remained positive about a successful referendum despite support falling to a record low of 36 per cent, the Liberal leader said the government’s failure to consult and provide detail was the sole reason Australians had turned their back on the proposal.
“That’s of his own making there are now more than one-in-three Labor voters who are voting No on October 14 that is of the Prime Minister’s own doing. The latest Newspoll published in The Australian on Monday highlighted the continued downward trend of support for the government’s signature proposal.vote Yes are trailing firmly behind the No vote in almost every key demographic.
He said the Labor leader was using the promise of bipartisan engagement on the Voice as a “11th hour desperation move to try and salvage the Yes vote” in the face of collapsing support. “But it’s obvious he’s now trying desperately to find ways to suggest to people that there can be a bipartisan position when all he’s done right from day one is divide Australians.The government established a Labor-dominated parliamentary committee into the Voice referendum which heard evidence and received submissions from hundreds of people and organisations before reporting back in May.

Albanese’s push for people to vote Yes has been ‘counterproductive’Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s push for Australians to vote Yes has been “counterproductive” as support for the Voice to Parliament continues to drop, says Opposition Leader Peter Dutton. The Voice to Parliament referendum will be held on October 14. “We’ve listened to Australians, worked our way around the country, listening to the concerns that people have, I have the greatest of respect for Australians whether they’re voting Yes or No,” Mr Dutton said during a press conference on Monday. “The Prime Minister telling people that they’re hard-hearted or others within the Labor movement suggesting that people are racist because they’re voting No. “Frankly it’s all been counterproductive, I think Prime Minister finds himself in a position now where he’s turned 60 per cent for the Voice into 40 per cent support for the Voice – that’s of his own making.”

The proposed committee would be jointly led by one representative from Labor and one from the Coalition. This would give everyone involved a say in deciding how a Voice would work in practice.
