Well looks like we know what Price has got for selling out her people. Now we just gotta find out what Warren Mundine's pay day is.

He was banking on a senate seat, but shit himself in the foot by saying the quiet part loud about a treaty

The Voice and audits are complimentary.

One of the first orders of business of the Voice would be to request a full audit on spending so they have a baseline and better understanding of where the money is going so they can identify ineffective programs and redirect it to where it needs to go.

Audits are already done regularity anyway 20 or so while Dutton was in Government.

The problem with audits is they are done to show you are complying with the management intent.

If the intent is misdirected and ineffectual you can still get 100% in an audit because you did what you said you would do and wasted the money exactly correctly.

The Voice is the way to get the money used efficiently and effectively in the first place.

The idea that anyone would genuinely believe that a single person can magically fix all these problems by themselves is just painfully stupid.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


As the Voice referendum campaign grinds towards its final week, there's at least now agreement on one thing: The current system isn't delivering for Indigenous Australians.

Six months ago, when the Liberal party room resolved to support a No vote, Dutton's preferred alternative was to create local and regional Voice bodies in legislation.

This week, Dutton settled on a far simpler solution for tackling the problems of entrenched Indigenous disadvantage: Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.

The shadow minister's main idea appears to be a "forensic audit" of money spent on First Nations people to prevent waste.

Beyond holding yet another review, the opposition leader says he will have "announcements to make in relation to other policies" to deal with Indigenous disadvantage, but only after the referendum.

David Speers is National Political Lead and host of Insiders, which airs on ABC TV at 9am on Sunday or on iview.

Hey, just a little nudge, if you’re keen to chat about the Voice to Parliament, we’ve got this corker of a megathread where we can all have a good chinwag in one spot. But if you’re not up for that, no worries, it’s business as usual. Gotta keep things fair dinkum!
