How any decent Australian could vote for these CCP assets and UN-WEF cadres, Wong and Albanese, defies belief and demonstrates how immoral and Godless the country has become
Labor’s Penny Wong tells Albo ‘we will introduce the Voice’ next term despite 60 per cent of Australians rejecting it

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has accused Labor of pushing a “secret plan to legislate the Voice” after a senior Labor Minister revealed the controversial plan was inevitable.
Mr Dutton said Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong had “let the cat out of the bag” during a podcast where she compared the inevitability of The Voice to that of the Marriage Equality Act.
“You see Penny Wong out there at the moment talking about the fact that the Voice is inevitable,” Mr Dutton said at a press conference on Wednesday.
“Under a Labor-Greens government, we see this secret plan to legislate the voice and Penny Wong has let that cat out of the bag.
“Now, people will be opposed to that because they thought they sent a clear message to the Prime Minister that they didn’t want the voice.”
More than 60 per cent of voters rejected the referendum after the Albanese government spent almost half a billion dollars on the proposal.
“Under a Labor-Greens government, we see this secret plan to legislate the Voice and Penny Wong has let that cat out of the bag.
“It would be one of the first items of business for a Labor-Greens government to introduce legislation to put in place the Voice and treaty and truth-telling.”
Ms Wong has backed away from her earlier suggestion that the Voice was as inevitable as marriage equality despite Labor Party headquarters saying the government’s intention was to achieve reconciliation through “different paths”.
After backlash from the Opposition Leader and Indigenous figures, Ms Wong confirmed: “The Voice is gone”.
“The Prime Minister has made that clear, and the Australian people have made their position clear, and we respect the result of the referendum,” she said.
“What I would say is, that doesn’t mean reconciliation and closing the gap stops, and we need to keep together, progressing those.”
A Labor spokesman also attempted to clean up after Ms Wong’s appearance with The Betoota Advocate.
“The Minister was clearly reflecting on the heated debate on how we address reconciliation and close the gap – and saying that as progress is achieved, today’s arguments will no longer be an issue,” the spokesman told SkyNews.com.au
“The government has been clear that we respect the outcome of the referendum, and we need to find different paths to achieve reconciliation in this country.”
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese went into damage control shortly after Ms Wong compared the inevitability of a Voice to Parliament to that of Marriage Equality legislation, which passed in 2017 after years of failed attempts.
“She didn’t say that at all,” Mr Albanese told the ABC.
“She spoke about how people will look back on what the issues were. That’s very different from saying it’s inevitable.”
Betoota Advocate spoke to Penny Wong, Transcript: Apr 28, 2025
Betoota: The referendum looked like it was going to fail. Everyone who was supporting it had hope. But back to the culture wars that’s what it turned into. The opponents turned it into that. Albo had the chance to pull the pin on that early days before we’d even seen … before all the confusion set in – if you don’t know vote no – but is that what you’re saying there? He said he was going to do it?
Penny Wong: Yeah, he’s not a pull the pin kind of guy.
Betoota: Yeah, so he’s going to wear it and he’s going to wear the bark getting taken off him by his opponents.
Penny Wong: He thought it was the right thing to do and you know a lot of the First Nations leaders wanted the opportunity. You know look I think we’ll look back on it in 10 years time and it’ll be a bit like marriage equality don’t you reckon? I always used to say marriage equality which took us such a bloody fight to get that done and I thought all this fuss… It’ll become something… It’ll be like people go, ‘Did we have an argument about?’ That they won’t even… like kids today or any even adults today barely kind of clock that it used to be an issue.
The Albanese government splashed almost half a billion dollars on the referendum in 2023 before voters overwhelmingly rejected the proposal.
Prominent ‘No’ campaigner and Indigenous affairs advocate Warren Mundine told Sky News that another referendum would be a “waste of time”.
“Here we go again. The Foreign Affairs Minister, Penny Wong stated … that, ‘in 10 years’ time and it’ll be a bit like marriage equality’,” he said.
“Indicating that the Labor Party will not be giving up on the culture wars, and will be pushing for another $500m Voice referendum.
“And if it doesn’t get up, they will keep trying. This is nothing but a waste of time and money that could be spent on actually fixing the problems in Aboriginal communities.”
Research from the Institute of Public Affairs found the main reason people voted ‘No’ to the Voice to Parliament was a perception it would divide the country.
Senior Fellow John Roskam said it was a “remarkable display of arrogance” for Ms Wong to disregard the outcome of the referendum.
“In October 2023, an overwhelming majority of Australians voted for equality in the law,” he said.
“They rejected elite identity politics by voting No to the federal government’s proposed Voice to Parliament that would have divided Australians along racial lines.
“Senator Wong’s comments only seek to inflame the divisions in our society by creating a two-tiered legal structure in our founding document, the Constitution.”
