Weekend Aus reporting that Peter Dutton is committing a Dutton-led government to constitutional recognition. He also vowed to legislate local and regional indigenous voices but not a national voice.

"The unifying moment for our country would be to vote for constitutional recognition," he said. "A vote for the voice will divide our country; that's why a Coalition government will fight for constitutional recognition."

Regarding legislating for local voices he offered the failed WA Heritage Act as an example for not locking-in major changes to the Constitution, thereby removing the ability to cancel bad reforms.

All sounds very pragmatic and sensible and prime ministerial from Dutton. Dare we hope that one day soon the grown-ups will again be in charge.

what is the point of regional and local voices if there's no national voice to articulate the problems and solutions to federal Gov?
