The minority party will oppose the Voice to Parliament but leader David Littleproud said they will not necessarily campaign against it. Via NITV

Source:The National Party has announced they will oppose constitutional recognition for First Nations people, saying the proposed Voice to Parliament will do nothing to close the gap.

The Warlpiri woman has been a vocal critic of the Voice, and reaffirmed her opposition to the proposal."One of our fundamental principles is that we are all regarded as equal under the law, despite race, despite gender, despite anything else. The existing proposals do not outline a governing body, but rather an advisory one, to be consulted on matters particularly pertinent to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

"I will be making sure that my community, as I’ve rung many and tragically, some of them don’t even know what the Voice is."

NITV The nationals have lost any footing they had here in the country. They should have kicked the likes of Barnaby Joyce out two years ago. Pretending they have a voice now .

NITV Disgusting decision

NITV Nooo, I’m shocked 😮🙄

NITV Not very National of them one would think.

NITV Having a bob each way! What a bunch of low ……

NITV Good, they are not racist like your minor media government funded outlet

NITV The Nationals proving themselves to be on the wrong side of history. voicetoparliament

NITV They should actively campaign against it. Our constitution is way too important to be amended to grant rights and privileges to people based on race. No sane and rational person wants a racist and divisive constitution.

NITV Cos Play Coal Miner Matt Cos Play Cowboy Barnaby The list goes on ..... 'We are the regional voice of .... well, a very select few in regions actually ..... mostly just our business mates and relatives' - The Nationals

NITV This is disappointing.

NITV Of course they would oppose a voice to parliament - they would have to listen if there were one!

NITV Weasel words. They cannot have it both ways and should be held to account on being on the wrong side of history.

NITV

NITV Well done nationals 🤣🤣👍

NITV Excellent. We don't want apartheid in this country.

NITV Pathetic Bozo's

NITV The Nats see themselves as the Voice for Regional Australia. However, they don't seem to want anyone else to have a voice, especially if they are First Nations people. Perhaps they are worried of acknowledging all the past misdeeds and crimes perpetrated on First Nations people?

Nationals to oppose Indigenous Voice to ParliamentThe National party says it will campaign against a Voice to Parliament, which would enshrine an Indigenous-elected representative body into the constitution. Littleproud should close the gap of his fuckin mouth Good Job. Everyone should oppose Racist Laws We expected nothing less from the Nationals.. 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.

Independent’s ‘can’t deliver’ in parliamentVictorian Liberal candidate Bill Tilley says “independents can’t deliver” in parliament in the state election. “We know how they operate; we know how they behave,” Mr Tilley said. “They will never be able to be the government, they won’t be writing the cheques.” Anyone who lives in the area sure knows that Bill hasn't delivered anything in his whole time in parliament. I like that Bill is advocating for a bus route to Killara but what I notice is that he is not pushing the idea on a regular basis, plus there is a lot more that's missing. TfNSW is doing all the work in Albury and they may actually get Sunday services.
