NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet says he supports the Voice ‘in principle’NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet says he supports the Voice “in principle” because being able to consult First Nations people “in respect of matters that affect them” is incredibly important. “I think this is a time where we should be united as a country, but we should also have a respectful debate,” Mr Perrottet told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. “And as Peter Dutton has raised concerns, he is completely right to do that.” Why do you need a “Voice” to consult your constituents? Isn’t that what local members are for? Don't need to write it into the constitution to be able to do that.
