Leading no campaign figure reportedly drops out of race for position left by Marise Payne backing Indigenous treaties
Mundine, who founded the Recognise a Better Way group in opposition to the Indigenous voice to parliament, also reiterated his previously expressed personal support for changing the date of Australia Day from 26 January – despite that being one of the fears raised in the no pamphlet.she would welcome working with Mundine on Indigenous treaties in the event of the voice referendum not succeeding, saying she was “glad he’d vocalised” his support for treaty processes.
The former New South Wales transport minister, Andrew Constance, is considered the front-runner due to support from senior moderates, although no formal decision has been taken by the faction to lock in behind him. Other potential candidates for the vacancy include: the Catholic Schools NSW chief executive, Dallas McInerney; former NSW Liberal MP Lou Amato; lawyer Pallavi Sinha; the former NSW Liberal vice-president, Mary Lou-Jarvis; and James Brown, a former army officer and national security expert.
Liberals believed Jess Collins was also preparing to run, but may focus on a bid to contest the seat of North Sydney., said Mundine had “contested elections before, he’s obviously a significant contributor to debate” and “would have a very serious claim to make” on the Senate spot.
