Peter Dutton to ‘campaign against’ Indigenous Voice to ParliamentThe Australian’s Lead Writer Graham Lloyd says Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has declared he will “campaign against” the Voice to Parliament. “It’s been a very significant week in the Voice this week because Peter Dutton has declared he will campaign against it, history shows if there is an effective No campaign, referendums struggle very much to get up,” Mr Lloyd told Sky News Australia. “The Prime Minister is making that things have changed, and he is really saying we’ve entered a new more co-operative style of politics, which is probably wishful thinking in a big regard.”
