Linda Burney, Federal Labor MP has called for the debate over an Indigenous voice in Parliament to be resolved before the coming election.
Linda Burney, who was the first Indigenous person to serve in the New South Wales Parliament, believes it would be wrong if constitutional recognition became an election issue.
Ms Burney also stated this issue is important for the whole of Australia, adding Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull would be “on the wrong side of history” if he was unsupportive of an Indigenous voice in Parliament.
