Voice referendum's estimate cost revealed amid resounding defeat

Sky News host Paul Murray says the Voice to Parliament referendum is estimated to have cost Australian taxpayers $450 million.

“This is an extraordinary amount of money that has been wasted on a prime minister trying to bully his way through to the history books,” Mr Murray said.

“He had plenty of times to split questions, to change the question, to change the wording, to delay the vote but he thought he had it sewn up.

“$450 million was spent on an idea that now defeated of course results in nothing.

“$450 million could well have been spent the exact same $450 million on an awful lot of things that would have changed practical results all over the country.”
