The opposition leader, Peter Dutton, has again declined to state his position on the Indigenous voice referendum, despite the Liberal party coming under pressure to decide its stance now the amendment and question have been released.
Anthony Albanese has implored the opposition to support the referendum, but, although he received a private advance briefing on the announcement and the design principles of the voice, Dutton has demanded yet more detail before picking a position. He said the Liberals wanted information on how the voice would improve the lives of Indigenous people.
