Why Peter Dutton is My Very Favourite Bald-Headed man! By James Reed
No discrimination against the bald, please, I am in your ranks too. But Peter Dutton must clearly go to the head of the bald class, for his bold, and bald opposition to the Voice referendum. There was some equivocation as Dutton said that while the Liberals will go for a No, they would also support constitutional recognition, which is inconsistent with the No vote, since there is no separate question for this. But, this is a positive step for the No campaign, which also has many leading Aboriginals supporting the No case, such as Senator Price. I believe that if there is a massive grassroots campaign, with ordinary people getting out and spreading the word, the Voice can be shut down, at last.
“The Liberal Party will oppose the federal government's proposed model for a national Indigenous Voice to parliament in this year's referendum.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton formally announced the position following a two-hour party room meeting in Canberra, saying his party's stance will improve outcomes for Indigenous communities.
"The Liberal Party resolved today to say yes to constitutional recognition for Indigenous Australians, yes to a local and regional body so we can get practical outcomes for Indigenous people on the ground," he said.
"But there was a resounding no to the prime minister's Canberra Voice."
While Dutton confirmed his party will support constitutional recognition at the same time as opposing the Voice, he said the Liberals will not ask the government to split the two proposals into separate questions in the referendum, meaning Australians will only be given the option of voting on the Voice question.
Dutton also confirmed he will actively campaign for the no vote, saying he doesn't think the Voice "is in our country's best interests".
