House debates Questions without Notice
Makarrata Commission
Peter Dutton Dickson, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition
3:09 pm
My question is to the Prime Minister. Has the Prime Minister committed to anyone that he supports the establishment of a makarrata commission?
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister
I'm pleased to see that the Leader of the Opposition is focused on the cost of living. What we've said on makarrata is that we'll continue to engage. We held a referendum last year which wasn't successful.
Tony Pasin Barker, Liberal Party, Shadow Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Transport
You lost!
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister
That's right. It wasn't successful. And what happens is that you accept that, you accept responsibility for it—something foreign to those opposite. We can accept our responsibility. You accept your responsibility for saying that it would have an impact on interest rates and on nuclear subs.
Peter Dutton Dickson, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition
