Former prime minister Tony Abbott has weighed in on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
He told The Australian the Voice would have something similar to a “veto” over decisions made by the federal government.
“I’m all in favour of recognising Indigenous people in our Constitution,” he said.
“But not if it means making a race-based body – part of our parliament – and not if it means changing our system of government.”
