The deputy Liberal leader, Sussan Ley, will accuse the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, of using the voice referendum as a “platform for an early election” and a “re-election vanity project” in a speech in Perth on Friday.

After the formal launch of the yes campaign in Adelaide on Thursday night, Ley will declare the prime minister is “laying traps” and “willing the Coalition to oppose” the landmark constitutional change rather than seeking a constructive bipartisan stance.
