Ken Wyatt under fire for ruling out Indigenous voice referendum question

Minister for Indigenous Australians called 'utterly disrespectful' for Lingiari lecture remarks

Indigenous groups around the country have strongly criticised Ken Wyatt for using a major address to rule out including a voice to parliament in any referendum on constitutional reform, with one Uluru statement advocate labelling him "utterly disrespectful" of the wishes of Indigenous people.

The Uluru statement from the heart clearly calls for a voice enshrined in the constitution as a crucial structural reform.
