The conduct of the official Indigenous voice no campaign has been an “open invitation to racists”, according to Kerry O’Brien.

The veteran journalist and co-author of the The Voice to Parliament Handbook told Guardian Australia’s Full Story podcast that the language used by the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, in the voice debate could encourage racist messages to spread.
