NSW Premier Chris Minns has left the door open to legislating an Indigenous Voice to NSW parliament despite Labor supporters across the state rejecting the Voice with a majority “no” vote.
He vowed on Monday to press ahead with a treaty consultation process, which could end up calling for a state-based Voice, according to theMr Minns said the “no” vote will be “part of this discussion,” while declaring he would “respect the decision” of NSW voters.“As difficult and as long as that discussion will be, it is not tolerable that has not begun in NSW,” he said.
The SA Voice will not have any powers to veto legislation or stop Parliament undertaking its duties and functions. With more than 70 percent of ballots counted Sunday, around 61 percent of Australians said “no” when asked if the 1901 constitution should be changed to recognise the country’s first inhabitants.
