Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has lashed the motives behind the proposed Voice to Parliament, arguing it will only cause further division in Australia and issuing a dire warning to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
In an impassioned address to a more intimate setting at the National Press Club of Australia, the shadow minister for Indigenous affairs on Thursday afternoon explained why she believed the Voice would be a letdown for Indigenous Australians if they voted in its favour, slamming it for being “built on lies”.
