Former Victorian Liberal president Michael Kroger says Lidia Thorpe’s resignation from the Greens makes it “harder” for the Labor Party to pass the Voice to Parliament legislation.
“I think it’s harder for Labor, particularly if she campaigns against the Voice, which you’d expect her to,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
“She’s in favour of a treaty, she’s in favour of truth-telling commission, and she’s in favour of reparations, and ultimately she’s in favour of a separate sovereign nation.”
