Marcia Langton to seek legal advice over Peter Dutton Instagram post | SBS News
Indigenous Voice to Parliament Yes campaigner Marcia Langton will seek legal advice if Peter Dutton refuses to take down an Instagram post, accusing her of branding No voters "racist" and "stupid".
Langton made the comments hours before video emerged, showing the longtime Indigenous rights advocate accusing Dutton of advocating for a "hard no" wing which was "spewing racism".
On Tuesday, the Opposition leader uploaded an image showing Langton and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, alongside the words: "No Voters Branded 'Racist, Stupid' By Prominent Voice Campaigner Marcia Langton".
But speaking to ABC radio on Wednesday, Langton accused Dutton of deliberately misleading voters and left the door open for legal action if the post remains live.
"I will have to ... ask a lawyer to write to Peter Dutton requesting that he remove this post from his Instagram because it is absolutely not true," she said.
