South Australia hasn’t realised state-based Voice is ‘not the way forward’

Menzies Research Centre’s Freya Leach says the South Australian government hasn’t realised a state-based Voice to Parliament is “not the way forward”. Under ten per cent of the Indigenous population voted in the state-based Voice to Parliament election. “I’m not sure by what measure we are measuring this,” she said. “I think it’s pretty clear when the very people that are supposed to be empowered by this Voice do not even care enough to come out and vote for it, then it’s not actually meeting the needs in the community. “We as Australians know that during the referendum we voted to reject this form of separate development that entrenches division and bureaucracy.”
