good morning☀️happy December! Today on #Insiders are murdoch politics editor Samantha Maiden, ABC newsreader Dan Bourchier and ABC politics editor Andrew Probyn. The interview is with Indigenous Australians minister Linda Burney.
the government finishes the year on a high, says Speers. Significant reforms passed and Morrison censured. But the Nationals announcement on not supporting a Yes vote on the Voice referendum is “not everything went the governments way” #Insiders
the media are hyping the Nationals announcement as a No campaign. What the Nationals SAID was they will not support the proposal for a constitutionally enshrined First Nations Voice to Parliament. #Insiders
the montage Sou track is “You’re the Voice” in language. Is it Gamilaraay by Mitch Tambo? I am not sure. Lots of clips of journalists saying IS IT WRECKED and coalition politicians whining and lying about “detail” #Insiders
#MakingNews is the ACT DPP decision to not re-prosecute Bruce Lehrmann for sexual assault. The accused alleged future legal options are of course given time on the public broadcaster. #Insiders
claims that Littleproud is walking back the narrative created by media - that the Nationals will campaign for a No vote - which journalists said. Someone has a leaked WhatsApp message limiting the Nats position to not supporting the Voice proposal by referendum. #Insiders
interview. Minister Burney opens by spelling out the working groups - Profs Langton and Calma and the work they did commissioned by Wyatt; Prof Davis and Aunty Pat Anderson on the dialogues working group. #Insiders
everyone forgets that the parliament will control its design, says Minister Burney. It is not about what politicians want, it is about the Australian people voting yes to the principle of First Nations people having a say on legislation. #Insiders
it is very straightforward, says Minister Burney. It is about improving outcomes and telling the truth. And truth telling in the nations birth certificate (constitution). And that this country is home to 65,000 years of cultural heritage [paraphrased] #Insiders
there will be no veto right. Advice from the Voice will be tabled in the parliament. It will be made available to the executive.
Q: Will every bill include a statement that the Voice was or not consulted?
A: that remains open to the co-design process [paraphrased] #Insiders

self-determination will guide everything they do, says Minister Burney. She sets out some areas where government needs to act - housing, overcrowding, incarceration. Where will the Voice make a difference? #Insiders
minister Burney points to First Nations-specific DV policy and cultural heritage legislation. She says she will not get ahead of the process and commits that everyone will be well informed on the question/s and what it means. It is about us as a nation, she says. #Insiders
recognition in the constitution is still a part of the referendum proposal for a Voice to Parliament. Asked about personal attacks, the minister says this Voice is about representing First Nations people to the Parliament in an extraordinary moment of truth telling. #insiders
and it is about bringing the nation together. She is confident of a Yes vote, and has confidence in the Australian people says Minister Burney. And she is proud of the Socceroos ⚽️ ☺️#Insiders
panel. No more detail yet opens Speers. Bourchier reviews what Burney says and the wiring group, and Speers again emphasises that the other side is “clamouring for more detail” #Insiders
the key line is stressing that this is about the Australian people, not politicians, says Maiden, to counter that narrative about elites [paraphrased, and she is right] #Insiders
why did the Nats announce this week? Echoing Noel Pearson, Probyn says it is because of [Senator] Jacinta [Nampijimpa] Price. They approve the “practical” example of DV and Probyn says he can not see how Dutton says No. Speers cites polling. #Insiders
the report from the working group, the principles, the model. Bourchier says polling has to be higher to allow for it falling back during the campaign (citing Prof Twomey). Speers says the model includes weighted remote representation and repeats Nats talking points. #Insiders
back to “where does Dutton land”. Probyn repeats that he can not see Dutton opposing because the Liberals have to win back seats from independents (“teal seats”). It could get ugly tho, says Maiden, pointing to the Gucci nonsense and Pearson on IPA puppetry. #Insiders
clip of Morrison lying about lying. Bless, says Maiden😂😂clip of Morrison lying to Ben Fordham. It’s easy to forget you were sworn in as Treasurer, says Maiden. It sounded like a valedictory speech, like he was preparing for the exit lounge, she says. #Insiders
he gave a speech about the pandemic, says Maiden (she calls it rousing lol) and did not engage with the substantive criticism in the Bell report. They note his false claim that journos did not ask the right question #Insiders
what was the queue to shake his hand about? Maiden says it is a terrible look to line up and kiss the hand and Tammy Wynette and stand by your man and Dutton did not line up to hug him and kiss him (!!) and he probably took a dim view (of the ring-kissing queue) -Maiden #insiders
profits of coal companies? Look at Queensland, says Probyn, the royalties are 40% not 15%? I missed the detail here sorry. Speers repeats the major media narrative about household budgets (power prices) being the responsibility of the federal government #Insiders
pretty good finish for the government? asks Speers. They claim to have passed more legislation than any gov since 2013 says Maiden. So the best since the Abbott gov, she twinkles. It’s a low bar to implement election promises - Maiden #insiders
the territory rights to legislate on voluntary assisted dying is covered by Bourchier. There is no time for nuance here - the risk of little old ladies being seen as disposable by kids who are keen on the inheritance, for example. #Insiders
the Lehrmann mistrial and decision not to re-prosecute. Maiden bothsides the traumatisation of [alleged] victim and accused. The *police* had concerns about the prospect of a conviction, says Maiden #Insiders
we get a re-cap of the inside drop article written up by Albrechtsen and published in the Oz from Maiden, who also summarises her report on the AFP giving Higgins’ private counselling notes to the defence bY aCciDeNt #Insiders
and *politicisation* of the trial/decision not to re-prosecute - as tho the politics can be extracted from a rape trial where the rape was allegedly by one political staffer against another in a ministerial suite. Not possible. #Insiders
Parkinson is up #Insiders

#MattPriceMoment is dominated by demoted Nationals leaders. Google it mate gets a run. Joyce and McCormack get two each #Insiders
as does anus horribilus. The Shaq moment. Tehan lying about twitter. Albanese spelling magnanimous. Jason Clare and Jim Chalmers performing parenthood. #Insiders
#MattPriceMoment is Morrison bowling over a kid in a soccer campaign stop, which Speers calls this bit of over enthusiastic campaigning #Insiders
#TalkingPictures is with the mighty David Pope, a back to you David man. #Insiders
#FinalObs 1 is Bourchier on the federal court decision recognising Tiwi rights to consultation and that Santos failed to do so, recognising traditional owners, says Bourchier #Insiders
the outtake is a mash up filled with grotesque reminders of federal politics dominated by men like Scott Morrison and Josh Frydenberg. Just the sound of their voices is😣 but the election night reminders are pleasant I guess. Garma gets a good run. #Insiders
oh my lawd that clip of Dutton saying they “can smile together” and attempting to smile again. The Liberals focus groups must still be telling him to smile more lol #Insiders
this has been the final 2022 edition of watching #Insiders so you don’t have to👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
