Qantas&#8217; support for The Voice aligns with other major\u2064 companies like Wesfarmers, Woolworths, and \u2062Rio\u2064 Tinto, as well as 14 of the top \u206320 ASX companies according to \u200ca \u2063survey by the Australian Financial Review.<\/p>\n<p>Qantas \u200cGroup \u200dCEO Alan Joyce expressed his belief that a\u2063 formal voice to the government would help address \u2062the gap\u200d in areas such as health, education, \u200band employment for First Nations people.

He emphasized that by \u200blistening to Aboriginal and Torres Strait \u200cIslander people on matters\u200d that affect them, Australia\u200b can improve lives and promote reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p>Other major\u200b companies, including Westpac and Coles, have also pledged their support for the Yes vote. Coles has even started printing the &#8220;Acknowledgement to Country&#8221; on\u2064 customers&#8217; sales receipts. However, Opposition \u200dLeader Peter Dutton criticized these companies for using their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democratic-senator-claims-rant-during-barrett-confirmation-is-reason-court-upheld-obamacare\/\" title=\"Democratic Senator Claims Rant During Barrett Confirmation Is Reason Court Upheld Obamacare\">financial contributions<\/a> to gain popularity.<\/p>\n<h2>Coalition \u200dSplit on The Voice<\/h2>\n<p>While the \u200bLiberals and \u200cNational parties \u2064agree with Labor on\u200b recognizing Indigenous people in\u200b the Constitution, the Coalition opposes\u200d the idea \u200dof\u2063 embedding a permanent Voice advisory body in Parliament. Peter\u200c Dutton, however, supports a proposal for &#8220;legislated local and regional voices&#8221; if the referendum fails.<\/p>\n<p>Despite differing\u200c views within \u2064the Liberal \u200bParty,\u2062 some members of the \u200cCoalition have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/three-things-manchin-said-at-no-labels-town-hall-that-could-worry-democrats\/\" title=\"Manchin's No Labels town hall remarks raise concerns for Democrats.\">expressed \u200csupport<\/a> for The Voice.

On the other hand, \u200bWestern Australia&#8217;s Opposition Liberal Leader Libby Mettam has changed \u2063her stance on The Voice after witnessing issues with \u200bthe state&#8217;s Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act.<\/p>\n<h2>Concerns \u2063and Parallels<\/h2>\n<p>Conservatives have raised concerns about The Voice, drawing parallels between it \u2064and Western Australia&#8217;s Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act. Libby Mettam acknowledges the difference in legislation but criticizes the lack of details on\u2063 the\u2063 proposed laws. Northern Territory Senator Jacinta Price, an opponent of The Voice and\u200b &#8220;Welcome to Country&#8221; announcements, considers this referendum to be the most divisive in \u2064the nation&#8217;s\u200d history.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the controversy, Qantas&#8217; \u200dsupport for the \u200cYes campaign adds momentum to the \u2062Indigenous Voice to \u200cParliament\u200b proposal, \u200dhighlighting the ongoing discussions and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/qantas-joins-corporate-yes-campaign\/\" title=\"Qantas supports Corporate 'Yes' Campaign.\">debates surrounding \u2062constitutional reform<\/a> \u200din Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Airline giant Qantas supports altering Australia&#8217;s Constitution and will fly with the &#8220;Yes&#8221; campaign.
