    what LNP are actually doing is very different to what they said on the campaign trail

    Their Victorian branch literally just pulled support for what was a bipartisan promise for an Indigenous Treaty - something that had been promised for years.

    Until the LNP gets rid of their conservative, gutless, old, white, male policy-makers, we’ll never progress as a society. And I’m an (almost) old, white male.

      The biggest problem was the LNP backing out and refusing to support [the Voice], even though this was a bipartisan effort all along (and actually started when LNP was in government).

      Their [LNP] Victorian branch literally just pulled support for what was a bipartisan promise for an Indigenous Treaty - something that had been promised for years.

      Qld LNP also abandoned support for treaty

      Are we seeing a pattern here? When it’s time to actually do something, that’s when you see what their real position is.

        Certainly seems like it, doesn’t it? Like I said, they’re gutless. Unwilling to commit to acting on their empty promises when the time comes.
