Relevant snippet:

What, exactly, is the Liberal position?
In a muddled echo of the Liberal turmoil over same-sex marriage last decade, Dutton emerged from the room to set out a position that was different from what some in the room thought they had just decided.
The papers set out three key pillars for the agreed position.

The first is the recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the First Peoples of Australia in the Constitution.

The second is the creation of local and regional Indigenous bodies on the grounds that these are the best way to make a real difference to Indigenous communities.The second pillar was central to Dutton’s broadside against the government because he called for local and regional voices rather than the national body he dismissed as a “Canberra Voice” – an argument and a catchphrase loaded with falsehood.

The third pillar is the policy idea the leader does not name: a legislated national Voice.
That’s right: the party room was presented with a policy to set up a Voice that would operate at a national level – and, you would have to guess, doing a lot of its work in Canberra.
The idea was to support an alternative model to the government with a national Voice to be set up by law, with caveats on its power and clearly defined responsibilities. This would work with the local and regional bodies.

Dutton condemned the Voice so thoroughly that he sounded wildly at odds with the written proposal. “We shouldn’t be voting for a divisive Canberra voice. That’s the issue. We should be listening to what people are saying on the ground,” he said.

It’s a false contrast, inflated with shrill rhetoric. The key point is that Labor also supports regional voices.

top post pugsley...

your explanation is clear and definitive..... but I see it more form the receptivity of the public. Dutton's only clear point was "Just Say NO"

this damns him to forever be haunted by his own negativity.
