Federal government has had a ‘few stumbles’ on Indigenous Voice

The government has had a “few stumbles” when it comes to its proposal for a referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, says Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.

Mr Clennell said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese “stumbled a little over the detail” in his interview with 2GB’s Ben Fordham during the week.

“Even Shadow Attorney-General Julian Leeser – traditionally an advocate for the Voice – is saying the way the government is explaining the proposal, he may well drop his support for it,” Mr Clennell said.

“But on the Opposition side, the former minister in the Morrison government, Ken Wyatt, said Peter Dutton was a ‘naysayer’ with his repeated calls for detail.”
