When you hear Dutton calling for an audit of Government spending on Indigenous communities he’s counting on two things:
That you don’t know that police & prisons is counted in that spending & Indigenous communities rarely have control over funding they get & how it can be spent.

Fascinating how big supermarkets would rather pour tens of millions of dollars into security surveillance systems rather than employ more people to actually serve us, that & not price gouging is your best way to reduce theft. Poor people are not the problem, woolies & coles are.

People on all sides of politics are backing the Voice, including Liberal MP Bridget Archer who I campaigned with today.
We've seen Liberals like former PM Malcolm Turnbull and former Indigenous Australians Minister Ken Wyatt come out in support.
Because it goes beyond politics.

Voting Yes for the Voice is a vote for recognition, listening and better outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The Liberal Party needs to listen to Liberal MP for Berowra @JulianLeeser. Or it will continue to lose seats to independents. #auspol

"I observe that there are those who oppose [the Voice], who don't seek to unite this country… who seek to say things which are designed to make people fearful. And I don't think that is the way we should be having this discussion — @SenatorWong #abc730

The Voice is a generous invitation & I hope our nation can respond with the same open heart.
We haven’t made progress towards Closing The Gap, so it’s clear something has to change.
The Voice has come directly from Indigenous Australians - it’s time for us to listen
