Penny Wong (SA, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Foreign Affairs) Share this | Hansard source

The first point I would make is it appears that the first question on both days this week from the opposition has been about the actions of a state government. I'm pleased that they are so supportive of what this government is doing that they don't appear to be able to ask questions critical of what our policy is. But, as the minister well knows, the issues around the Western Australian legislation are matters for the Western Australian government. I would make the point that I understand that the shadow Attorney-General, the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, is amongst those who wish to conflate those issues in her opposition to the Voice. Anybody who has been to Western Australia or who has spoken to any Western Australians will know that that is a political tactic because you oppose the Voice.

I've been in politics for a while, and I think we all understand the scare campaign, and Senator Cash is good at those.
