The incoming Shadow Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Jacinta Price, says there are Indigenous leaders who “don’t know” what the Voice is.
“Well, I think there are examples of Indigenous leaders in communities who are coming out and saying now that they don’t have any idea what the Prime Minister’s proposal for their Yes campaign is,” she said in a press conference on Tuesday.
“They don’t know what the Voice is; they don’t feel like they will be represented by yet another model that they see is being run by those who have had long-held positions within the Aboriginal industry, if you like. “Those calls are coming from them for this push for the Yes, but those people on the ground in communities don’t know what this is about.”
