abc.net.au/news/split-in-nationals-indigenous-voice-to-parliament-andrew-gee/101714738Nationals frontbencher Andrew Gee has broken ranks with his colleagues, arguing it is "absurd" for his party to expect him to change his stance on supporting an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
Mr Gee represents the regional New South Wales electorate of Calare, and was not present at the party room meeting on Monday where the position was settled."I have a very long-standing view on it, and so I'm not going to change it," Mr Gee said. Mr Gee maintained he had outlined his position clearly, although he did not get a chance to speak directly with party leader David Littleproud"David respects all views and I'm not expecting him to be upset about this," he said."While there is more detail certainly required, without a doubt, we have to keep working at it in good spirit and with open heart," he said.
go join Labor or the Greens then
like all the ABC 'fall in line'
Reject ABC/Labor racism, reject 'the voice'. One people, one nation, one flag.
This race based “voice” thing sure is dividing people and it hasn’t even happened yet.
At least Gee can read his electorate.

Low values and little to contribute to the country, that is the Nationals these days... Which makes sense that they work with the Liberal Party, neither care for the country or it's people.

Expect First Nations Elders in Old Parliament House presiding over Women's, Men's and Youth chambers in Parliament. Racists will be racists.. Ugly. The Nationals standing with Littleproud will find few racists to support their extremism. Using our desperately needed national reconciliation as a political point of difference (cause that's all it is) is pathetic. A sad lonely hill to die upon.
