Lidia Thorpe opposes Voice to parliament, seen as a powerless tool in a colonial and racist constitution

"I'll vote No. As a Black sovereign woman nothing will change my mind about going into a colonial constitution, particularly a powerless Voice that always has parliamentary supremacy over it. It will also have people like Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese co-chairing the arrangements on what it looks like and how much say our people can have." - Lidia Thorpe
