Leading moderate Simon Birmingham has conceded that he is “conflicted” over the Voice to Parliament, flagging that voting against the proposal is a matter he will need to “wrestle with”.
Host Patricia Karvelas then directly asked why he is not taking a position, noting that him being private indicates he’s on the fence about the proposal.
“That we have got a question before us and a proposed change before us that even some of the staunchest supporters have deep reservations…” She then asked whether he would be comfortable voting No at the referendum, which will likely be between October and November.“I will look carefully and understand fully the Constitutional consequences, and I have reservations about the wording there.”
Those against enshrining the Voice into the Constitution increased to 47 per cent, up from 43 per cent on June 4.
