Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says Warren Mundine confused the 'No' debate on the Voice to Parliament on Sunday. Mr Mundine spoke about the Voice failing and then suggested a treaty could be pursued and Australia Day dumped. “This is news to Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, who had a go at the idea of treaties earlier this afternoon and would not come at the Mundine suggestion,” Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said. Mr Mundine’s remarks come after a heated week of debate on the Voice as Australians prepare to head to the ballot box in October to vote in the referendum. Recent polling has suggested the Voice could be potentially heading for defeat after a survey by Resolve Strategic revealed the 'No' vote grew in the last month.

Warren Mundine slams ‘victimhood mentality’ of Indigenous activistsVoice No campaigner Warren Mundine says Australia needs to “move forward” in tackling Indigenous issues instead of worrying about the historical colonial experience of Aboriginal people. In light of Senator Jacinta Price's speech to the Press Club, debate has erupted with people eager to try and make the topic of colonialism a good or bad question. “For the last 56 years, we’ve got rid of all the race laws in this country – we are spending billions of dollars to help and work with Aboriginal people,” Mr Mundine told Sky News host Amanda Stoker. “If you are going to be trapped in this victimhood, grievance mentality, then you're not going to move forward – it’s a fact of life. “Just about every race, every country in the world had been either colonised, invaded … had horrible things that happened to them, but they’ve had to accept that history and then move forward.”
