The South Australian Greens have declared their unanimous support for a voice to parliament, in a move expected to be seen as a shot across the bows to the party’s First Nations spokesperson, Lidia Thorpe.

First Nations Greens moved a motion at a party meeting, backed by the broader party, to support the voice.
