Queensland parliament passes motion in support of Indigenous Voice

Earlier this year, the Queensland government also announced a First Nations committee with a view to pursuing an Indigenous Voice to the state parliament.

The Voice would be an advisory body that could make representations to parliament and the government on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is now under pressure to reveal whether or not the federal Liberal Party will support the proposal.

He has previously said the government needed to provide more detail on the proposal.

Bipartisan support is not essential for a referendum to succeed, however it does make it more likely.
