King Marcus and the House of Stewart - A Rising Aboriginal Aristocracy? - Part 1

Marcus Stewart, a referendum working group member, accused Peter Dutton of “pissing in our pockets” and being “extremely disingenuous” in his dealings on the Indigenous voice to parliament. “Australians woke up to the worst kept secret in politics – the opposition will be voting No,” Mr Stewart said in response to the Coalition’s opposition on the referendum machinery provisions. “For two meetings now, Peter has looked us in the eye while pissing in our pockets and telling us it’s raining. This is ­extremely disingenuous.”

The Opposition Leader declined to respond to Mr Stewart’s comments.
