At the Garma Festival Prime Minister Anthony Albanese make starling comments about his planning for a second attempt at a Voice for Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“The prime minister insists he\u2019s not changing his position. Well, what\u2019s the money in the budget? If the prime minister says he\u2019s not changing his position? What is his position and why is there money in the budget for a Makarrata commission? – Peter Dutton<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Peter Dutton continued: “Why has taxpayers\u2019 money already been spent on establishing a makarrata commission? What will it do? Who will be appointed to it? What impact will it have on Indigenous people and communities and business?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“The prime minister again is treating people, as he did through the course of the voice, by starving them of the detail that they need to get a better understanding of what he\u2019s proposing. He does believe in the Makarrata commission. He said it on numerous occasions. He does believe in truth telling. He said it on multiple, multiple times.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
“The government is out there with slogans and solar panels that he claims won\u2019t address the practical needs of Indigenous Australians.” “He\u2019s done nothing. He\u2019s spent half a billion dollars on the voice and divided the nation.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Anthony Albanese is talking out of both sides of his mouth and of pushing for a voice 2.0 over his personal support for a Makarrata commission.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
