Lidia Thorpe calls for end to voice to parliament
Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe says future treaties between the commonwealth and Aboriginal people must be negotiated in a way that avoids the country going broke, declaring there is “a lot of money owed to First Peoples”.
In an address to the National Press Club in Canberra, Senator Thorpe said reparations must be paid to Indigenous people ­because of colonisation, but ­acknowledged governments did not have enough money to pay for what was “stolen”.
The Indigenous senator, who described herself as part of the “progressive No” campaign, also called on Anthony Albanese to cancel the referendum on a proposed voice to parliament, which she labelled as “window-dressing for constitutional recognition”.
