Sky News host Cory Bernardi says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Lowitja O’Donoghue Oration in Adelaide exhibits admission to pushing for change with attribute Voice to Parliament Yes marketing campaign “doublespeak” rhetoric.
“We’ve been told for months there is nothing to be worried about when it comes to the Voice; the advocates, including the Prime Minister, have said It’s a modest change we shouldn’t be afraid of,” Mr Bernardi mentioned.
“He told us it’s not a radical proposition but a sensible one; it’s a simple, vital and practical principle that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a say in the policies and decisions that affect their lives.
“That was back in February, … this week, while giving the Lowitja O’Donoghue Oration in Adelaide, he took a slightly different tack.
“I read the transcript … and I found it full of misleading rhetoric and vague promises … at least now he’s admitting what the Prime Minister is pushing for is neither modest change nor merely symbolic.
“Unfortunately, this double-speak is characteristic of many of those pushing the Yes campaign.”
