Sky News host Peta Credlin says much that happens in government is ‘driven by officials’, pointing to the recent calls for an enshrined Indigenous voice in the Constitution.

Ms Credlin notes it seems that what governments campaign on in an election is ‘almost entirely different’ from the issues that consume them in office, that ‘no one ever voted for’. She believes the Morrison government needs to be ‘very careful’ with the idea of a legislated voice, as the issue is ‘getting away from them’ and ‘dividing us by the colour of our skin’.

rowandean The scam continues !

rowandean Yes, it is about land and money. The fear of those that currently control most of the land and make most of the money (those that pay rowandean's wage) actually losing some of that land and money to the rightful owners and beneficiaries. As you admit, 'the fix is in'.

rowandean I think it’s about governments bending at the knees to appease the LEFT but have an each way bet. It gives the LEFT something to focus rage on. So if for nothing else it gives students, the unemployed, misfits, and activists something to do.

rowandean Well we know what's dictates lnp thus sky agenda.the bullshit shit tank IPA. show some respect.

rowandean Omg RWNJs Credlin an ex govt spin doctor And whoever that other idiot is who cares ! Both dont represent the average Aussie.

rowandean What really scary if true is that that both sides have already collided without the voters knowing ... DeepState AustralianDeepState

rowandean Can we ask the same question on why you do not want a carbon tax? Why you deny climate change? Why you are so anti equality and fairness. Come on Rowam, what is behind it? Or is it who is behind it?

rowandean An indigenous voice in parliament. I think that’s in the heading. Dick.

rowandean We know ...we aren’t stupid. 650,000 indigenous Australians many can’t read or write and are being coerced by activists. Who through ‘advocacy’ push translating Indigenous culture & language into English for who? Those who don’t read or write?

rowandean Wow. Rowan Dean, you are simply the worst Australia has to offer.

rowandean The other point is maybe the Govt should be focused on land ownership by foreign countries including China or is it too late

rowandean Pay the rent

rowandean I just want one person to explain how this is going to be good for aborigines?
