Labor considers referendum on Indigenous voice to parliament | Sky News AustraliaLabor is considering holding a referendum on an Indigenous 'voice to parliament' if it wins government at next months federal election.\n\nLabor's would-be minister for Indigenous Affairs, Pat Dodson, says the public would be given a guide on how the scheme 'could work', but its final form would be decided in parliament.\n\nThe Uluru Statement from the Heart and the Referendum Council called for the Indigenous representative body in 2017, though it was rejected by the Turnbull government.\n\nThe Morrison government has echoed its predecessor's view, rejecting it on the basis that it would become a 'third chamber of parliament' and never gain public support.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n\n\n billshortenmp I don't understand what 'recognition' is supposed to accomplish. These bleeding hearts are the ones who divide Aussies based on race and constantly pander to certain racial groups over others, it's not the right or even the 'extreme' right. billshortenmp Mr Nice guy eh? The 'weasel' is still at it. Why hadn't his party done something about it when they were in Government? Same as RC in banking and financial services - those companies were doing 'wrong' during Labor days in Govt and Labor didn't do a RC! Ya da ya da ya da......... billshortenmp They are included, every Australian is. If you want to list them specifically that’s a different argument.
