New Liberal Senator for New South Wales, Andrew Bragg has used his maiden speech to back an Indigenous voice to parliament in the constitution.

 

He spoke out against some of his colleagues who have labelled the voice a "third chamber", and explained it would not have the standing, scope or power of the Senate or the House of Representatives.

 

Senator Bragg said almost every comparable nation has landed some form of legal recognition of First Peoples and Australia should not wait any longer.
