The voice, try and understand it: kid gloves for reporter who asks Dutton ‘is it a man or a woman?’

When Nine News Brisbane reporter Peter Fegan interviewed Peter Dutton this week he “commended” the opposition leader for his stance on the voice “because I don’t understand it”. It was soon clear the stand-in Radio 4BC presenter wasn’t kidding when he said he did not understand the proposal for an Indigenous voice to parliament.

Fegan: “My questions are, you know, what I want to know is: where does this person sit in parliament? Is it a man or woman? Are they going to be within the upper house? Are they going to be a minister?”
