About this episode
If the Liberal Party’s announcement that it would oppose the Voice to Parliament was meant to take attention away from fractures in the Liberal Party – the result has been very different.
This week, the party’s spokesperson on Indigenous Australians resigned his post, and the party’s most high-profile Indigenous figure tore up his party membership.
So how did it come to this? And have these splits torpedoed Peter Dutton’s case just as he’s begun to make it?
Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno, on the consequences of saying ‘No’ for the Liberal party.
