The ask from the overwhelming majority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is for a referendum for constitutional recognition through a Voice to Parliament. Now Mr Dutton is out there talking about his referendum. He's out there saying he supports a referendum, just not this referendum. He supports a voice but just not this voice. It's really clear yet again: we see Mr Dutton playing political games because his political strategy, tried and true, is to try to build himself up by tearing everything else down.
