Ken Wyatt says he has Indigenous voice to parliament plan for Scott Morrison

Minister for Indigenous Australians says 'we have to be pragmatic' about recognition

Ken Wyatt says he's on the brink of producing a concrete proposal to legislate a voice to parliament, and insists a referendum to recognise Indigenous Australians in the constitution needs to happen before the next federal election.

The minister for Indigenous Australians told the ABC on Thursday he was about to take "a series of propositions to do with constitutional recognition, the voice and truth telling" to Scott Morrison, and he planned to meet with other Indigenous parliamentarians next week to try and achieve consensus.
