The Guardian: Dutton ‘diminishes’ Australia on world stage by vowing to abolish First Nations ambassador, Wong says
Penny Wong has accused Peter Dutton of diminishing Australia on the world stage after the opposition leader vowed to abolish the ambassador for First Nations People.
Dutton said on Monday that Australians “haven’t got enough money in their own budget, but they’ve got the prime minister flying this guy around the world business class doing I don’t know what”.
Wong came to the defence of Justin Mohamed, a Gooreng Gooreng man from Bundaberg in Queensland who was appointed last year as Australia’s inaugural ambassador for First Nations People.
