'A Judas betrayal': Noel Pearson criticises Liberal opposition to Voice
The Liberal party has finally settled on a 'no' position on the Indigenous voice referendum. Noel Pearson says it's a "great betrayal" of the country, and a "sad day" for Australia that there won't be bi-partisan support for an "important national enterprise".

Isn't it amazing how Tony Abbott manages to inspire the best oratory in Australian politics. Just listened to Noel Pearson again with @PatsKarvelas on @RNBreakfast just now. It's right up there with @JuliaGillard and the famous misogyny speech: abc.net.au/radionational/…

Peter Dutton might want to ask himself about his legacy
There will be no resurrection for Peter Dutton’s party and no legacy worth remembering, whatever the outcome of the referendum.

Michael Pascoe@MichaelPascoe01
The conservative hard-to-looney right controlling Queensland’s LNP and, thus, the federal Liberal Party since the election, was never going to back the Voice. It was only a matter of what weasel words they would come up with as their excuse.

Plastic spiders
Peter Dutton knew before he called his colleagues to Canberra that he would oppose the Voice. The party room meeting was a stunt, like almost everything else in his career.

By choosing to share a stage with One Nation, Barnaby Joyce invited division into his community
The National party has framed its opposition to the voice to parliament as wanting practical outcomes over symbolism. But can it escape the symbolism of being on stage next to Pauline Hanson?
