Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has spoken out against embedding the Indigenous Voice to Parliament into the country’s Constitution.

Federal MPs are debating the Constitution Alteration (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice) Bill 2023, which will lock in a referendum for Australians to decide whether to include The Voice in the country’s founding legal document.
