The Liberal Party recently came out against Anthony Albanese’s proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament – under which an advisory body representing Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander Australians will be enshrined in the Australian Constitution. However, instead of rejecting the idea of an Indigenous Voice in principle, the Liberal Party decided to suggest an alternative – they suggested a non-constitutionally-enshrined, legislatively-enshrined ‘Local Voice’ made up specifically of representatives of local Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander communities.
