The debate around the Indigenous Voice to Parliament has been “unprofessional and disappointing” right from the start, says Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton.
Mr Houghton said 2GB host Ben Fordham recently had Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on his program to discuss the lack of details in the Voice proposal.
During the interview, Mr Albanese responded, “no” when asked by Mr Fordham if the Solicitor-General had been consulted about the referendum on the Voice.“It is no surprise to me that a key detail in this was censored by the Prime Minister’s media team. It shouldn’t surprise anyone,“ Mr Houghton said.
“You can’t just go back in time and change reality. It is absurdly arrogant for such a new government to attempt the re-write of history and hopefully this isn’t a sign of things to come.”
