One of Anthony Albanese’s top lieutenants has declared that an Indigenous Voice to Parliament is an inevitability in .
The Voice referendum in October 2023 was resoundingly defeated by a national margin of 60 per cent.
But Foreign Minister Penny Wong has now claimed that there will one day be a Voice – and ns will wonder why there was ever an argument about it.
‘I think we’ll look back on it in 10 years’ time and it’ll be a bit like marriage equality,’ Senator Wong told the Betoota Talks podcast.
‘I always used to say, marriage equality, which took us such a bloody fight to get that done, and I thought, all this fuss.
‘It’ll become something, it’ll be like, people go “did we even have an argument about that?”.’
‘Like, kids today, or even adults today, barely kind of clock that it used to be an issue. Remember how big an issue that was in the culture wars?
‘Blimey, just endless.’
More to come.
