Anthony Albanese has lashed Peter Dutton’s opposition to the Indigenous voice referendum, accusing him of amplifying misinformation and making contributions “simply unworthy of the alternative prime minister of this nation”.

The prime minister has also effectively ruled out making changes to the proposed constitutional alteration, shrugging off a late push from some voice supporters to remove its power to make representations to executive government.
