Opposition leader Peter Dutton has returned his offer to hold a second referendum if elected, saying Australians were clearly “over” the process.

During the referendum campaign, Mr. Dutton said a second referendum was “right” and “respectful” towards “acknowledging history,” adding, “I think it’s the right thing to do for Indigenous Australians.”
