Former Liberal Minister for Indigenous Australians, Ken Wyatt, announced his resignation from the Liberal Party on Thursday, following Peter Dutton’s ‘NO’ vote for the Voice to Parliament.  

“I still believe in the Liberal Party values but I don’t believe in what the Liberals have become,” Mr Wyatt told The West Australian.

“Aboriginal people are reaching out to be heard but the Liberals have rejected their invitation.”

Mr Wyatt was the first Aboriginal person to be elected to the federal House of Representatives in Australian history.
