Michael Byrnes is quoted in the article, “
‘Inevitable’: Employment lawyers warn Indigenous voice
‘flashpoint’ for worker disputes”, published in The
Australian on 9 August 2023,

Tinto, NAB, Woolworths, and Lendlease have publicly endorsed the

employment law as the vote nears. “If we live in a society
where employees have to mirror the views of their employer then

employee. That could be cause for disciplinary action.”
