What was interesting over the weekend was we saw Mr Dutton say he doesn't want one referendum; he wants two—not one but two. According to Mr Dutton, it is a bad idea to ask all Australians to turn up and vote in one referendum but it is a good idea to ask them to turn up and vote in a second referendum and he supports a voice, apparently, just not this voice. So one referendum bad, two referendum is good according to the coalition and its leader, and a voice is okay but not this voice. We know Mr Dutton is playing political games because when he had the chance to do something, he didn't, and now when someone else is trying to do something he tries to tear it down. He builds himself up by tearing others down. (Time expired)
