The Opposition Leader has called on corporate Australia to “stand up for what’s in our country’s best interests”, as he slammed companies donating huge sums to the Voice to Parliament ‘Yes’ campaign.

Wesfarmers has donated $2 million in the last week to the Yes campaign, matching the donation of mining giants BHP and Rio Tinto.

“There are a lot of people who are just craving popularity and trying to please people in the Twittersphere,” he added. “Clearly, the way that the Prime Minister has proposed the voice and conducted himself in his campaign, the voice is not in our country's best interests. And on that basis, I hope that people can support us in other tangible ways of finding better outcomes for Indigenous Australians, which is what we all desire.”

“Instead of trying to deal with these things post the event, they should have had the proper processes in place to stop an event from taking place,” he added.

‘It is going to impact everybody’: Rita Panahi on the federal Voice to ParliamentSky News host Rita Panahi says the Voice to Parliament on a federal level is going to “impact everybody” after looking at South Australia’s version being delayed by six months. “It’s going to impact everybody, it’s not going to be something where you can just say ‘well I don’t need to worry about that, I’m not a farmer, I don’t have huge tracks of land, I’m not a big business I don’t have to go through these processes’,” Ms Panahi said. “No, it is going to impact everybody, so get interested because this is our country we’re talking about. “If we have a federal Voice it’s going to turbocharge all of this because we know with the Uluru Statement of the Heart, it doesn’t stop with the Voice, we then have truth-telling, and treaty, and everything that comes with that.”
