The Coalition is set to vote against the machinery bill setting up the Voice to Parliament referendum this week, but the bill is still expected to pass, according to Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.
“That’s before we even get the legislation next week setting up the question for the referendum,” Mr Clennell said.
“This machinery bill is expected to pass anyway with the support of the Greens, the Jacquie Lambie Independents and David Pocock.” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has made clear neither the Yes or No campaigns should get public money. “Labor feels the Coalition can’t resolve internal differences on this so the simple thing will be for them to say no,” Mr Clennell added.
