David Littleproud has defended the Nationals' stance on the Voice to Parliament, arguing the chief issues facing Indigenous Australians fell 'invariably in our electorates', insisting the party does 'have something to contribute'.
Nationals Leader David Littleproud has urged voters in urban areas to listen to his party's views on the Voice, saying the problems it aims to fix fall"invariably in our electorates" and that members had a"lived experience" of the consequences of past failures.
"We've got over a thousand Indigenous representative bodies now and adding another layer it will not help." Prime Minister Anthony Albanese released the Solicitor-General's advice on the Voice this week, which he claimed showed criticism of the reforms over potentially unintended legal consequences were misplaced.
