The PM has rejected assertions that Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong believes a Voice to Parliament is “inevitable”.
“She didn’t say that at all,” Mr Albanese told ABC Melbourne, following Senator Wong’s comments on the Betoota Talks podcast.
“I think it was a very modest proposal, but it didn’t receive the support of the Australian people. (Senator Wong) spoke about how people will look back on what the issues were. That’s very different from saying it’s inevitable. She did not say that all.”
On the podcast, Senator Wong likened the Voice to same-sex marriage in that Australians would one day be incredulous there was ever an argument about it.
Not sure I would trust Albanese a second time.
