Peter Dutton rules out voice to parliament, labelling it a 'third chamber'

Minister mischaracterises key Uluru statement demand for Indigenous consultation

Peter Dutton says the Coalition's policy is to achieve Indigenous recognition without enshrining a voice to parliament in the constitution, seemingly ruling out a key demand by the authors of the Uluru statement from the heart.

The home affairs minister's comments follow an anonymously sourced story in the Australian newspaper, which said Scott Morrison would "veto" any attempt to insert an Indigenous voice into the constitution.
