Anthony Albanese brands Voice opponents 'Chicken Littles of the past'

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has taken aim at opponents of the Indigenous Voice in a speech set to be delivered tonight, calling them “Chicken Littles of the past”. An advanced copy provided to the media, ahead of a narration that Mr Albanese will deliver Monday night at an event in Adelaide, will reiterate why he believes the Voice needs to be enshrined into the constitution. Despite support for the Voice to Parliament sliding in the polls, the Prime Minister believes Australians will ultimately back Labor’s proposal at the referendum later this year. “Australians have healthy scepticism of doomsayers, a scepticism kept in good health by memories of all the predictions offered by the Chicken Littles of the past,” Mr Albanese will say on Monday.
