She said part of the reason for this is the government has been “focused on a new constitutionally-entrenched Indigenous Voice to the Parliament”. “It hasn’t been listening to the Indigenous voices in Alice and elsewhere, warning that there’s a worsening disaster in remote Australia,” Ms Credlin said.
