‘All their eggs in one basket’: Voice referendum ‘backfiring’ against government

Shadow Indigenous Affairs Minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has acknowledged the Voice referendum is “backfiring” against the Albanese government as people are more concerned about the cost-of-living crisis Australia is facing. “Australians are really feeling the pinch right now, finding it difficult to pay their bills, to be able to put food on the table for their kids,” Ms Price told Sky News host James Morrow. “They’ve put all their eggs in one basket in terms of this Voice referendum and I think it’s actually backfiring on them. “Because every day Australians are saying well hang on a tick why are you spending over $300 million on this referendum when you should be doing your job to make our lives easier? “Everyone’s suffering as a result.”
