Indigenous voice referendum AMA: are Anthony Albanese’s intentions pure?
This article is more than 1 year old
Earlier this year, deputy opposition leader Sussan Ley called the voice referendum Albanese’s “re-election vanity project”. Yes campaigner Thomas Mayo believes focusing on the prime minister’s intentions is incorrect when, “[the voice] isn't Albanese's idea, it's not a Labor party idea…this has been a genuine call from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people”. Journalist Dr Amy McQuire says she does not “have a lot of confidence in the intentions of politicians or prime ministers” and that Albanese should be judged on his ability to “deliver justice”.
