abc.net.au/news/victorian-nationals-on-indigenous-voice-to-parliament/101714488The leader of the Victorian Nationals has backed his federal counterpart's opposition to a referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament being written into the constitution.
Mr Walsh said the Nationals were "almost compelled to oppose" the move because of the lack of detail provided on how the Voice would improve outcomes for Indigenous Australians. Mr Walsh's comments come at a time when Victoria is moving ahead with negotiations on a treaty with Indigenous communities in the state — a process his party has supported.
"Of course more details about the Voice need to be discussed, but that's what the conversation is all about and the conversation is just starting, so that's why it's very disappointing to see the Nationals turn their backs and walk away from it.Nationals leader David Littleproud has announced the party won't be supporting the Voice to Parliament, saying it won't close the gap.
Why am I not surprised at this action the eastern state NATs are like sheep and Proudfoot is the sheepdog they follow regardless of the reasons or outcome like Lemmings.

The constitution is a rule book for governing. It serves all Australians equally. Singling out any group, no matter how well meaning, is repugnant. We have the same voice to parliament… one vote, one value. With the details hidden until after the vote, you’d be nuts to vote yes.
Shame on him.
Colonial mindset 👍
sad to see we need the Indigenous Voice for soul of this country this needlessly creates division and is deeply racist by the nationals

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.

Nationals to oppose ‘racist’ Indigenous VoiceA referendum on Indigenous recognition will not have bipartisan support after the junior Coalition partner said the plan was misguided. Can someone tell Australians what a voice to parliament will achieve?. Will it guarantee indigenous communities better health, education, schools, jobs, housing and safety for the vulnerable & report to parliament on outcomes. Or will it be a gravy train for the few. Smart move. And great timing. Good.
