The Real Reason Julian Leeser Quit over the Voice: A Political Victim

Julian Leeser Resigns as First Political Casualty of Voice to Parliament

Pressure Mounts on Peter Dutton as Leeser Cites Faith with First Peoples

Amidst the ongoing debate surrounding Australia's Voice to Parliament, Julian Leeser has emerged as its first political victim. Leeser, a former member of the Liberal Party, has resigned from the party over his opposition to the proposed constitutional amendment.

Leeser has been a vocal critic of the Voice, arguing that it will create a separate system of government for Indigenous Australians and divide the country. He has also expressed concerns about the lack of detail surrounding the Voice's structure and powers.

In a statement released after his resignation, Leeser said that his decision was based on his belief that the Voice would not serve the interests of the First Peoples of Australia. "I have come to the conclusion that the Voice to Parliament will not deliver the outcomes that our Indigenous people need and deserve," he said.

Leeser's resignation has put pressure on Peter Dutton, the Liberal Party leader, who has been a strong supporter of the Voice. Dutton has dismissed Leeser's concerns, arguing that they are "out of touch with the views of the majority of Australians." However, Leeser's departure from the party suggests that there is growing unease within the Liberal Party about the Voice.

The Voice to Parliament is a proposed constitutional amendment that would create a body of Indigenous Australians who would advise the government on matters affecting them. The amendment is currently being considered by the federal parliament, but it is unclear whether it will pass.
