Deputy Liberal leader claims PM ‘would rather see the Liberal party say no and this referendum fail’ than a yes vote prevail
A heightening of combative rhetoric from the opposition on the voice, on potential changes to superannuation concessions and on Labor’s national reconstruction fund coincides with the major parties preparing to face-off in a byelection in the seat of Aston in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne on 1 April..

But Ley will also argue the Liberal party can’t afford to write off seats it lost to the teal independents last May, so the opposition needs to remain a broad church appealing to “a range of communities and demographics”. Ahead of Ley declaring on Friday that Albanese wanted the voice referendum to succeed “but only on his terms”, the prime minister told reporters in Adelaide on Thursday he was seeking bipartisanship for the referendum campaign.
