Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has described the suggestion Labor would pursue a Voice to Parliament again as a "kick in the guts".
Speaking on the Betoota Advocate podcast released on Monday, Senator Penny Wong compared the Voice debate to the conversations around same-sex marriage, saying Australians will look back on the argument in 10 years and ask: "Did we even have an argument about that?"
Senator Wong, who was a central figure in the marriage equality campaign, told the popular podcast: "Like, kids today, or even adults today, barely kind of clock that it used to be an issue."
"Remember how big an issue that was in the culture wars? Blimey, just endless."
At no point did Senator Wong say the Labor Party would pursue a national Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the future.
Despite both the PM and Senator Wong shutting down any suggestions the latter's comments were an indication Labor will implement a Voice through legislation, Senator Price told 2GB on Thursday morning, Labor had no respect for the electorate.
"That there is a kick in the guts, and it just demonstrates just how deceitful Labor are," the shadow minister for Indigenous Australians claimed.
"They don't respect the outcome; they don't respect the will of the Australian people."
Speaking on ABC Radio in Melbourne on Wednesday morning, Anthony Albanese said Senator Wong wasn't implying the Voice was inevitable, rather arguing that "she spoke about how people will look back on what the issues were".
"That's very different from saying it's inevitable. She did not say that at all," he said.
"I think it was a very modest proposal, but it didn't receive the support of the Australian people. And that is what Penny Wong is saying."
He had previously shut the door on any revival of the Voice when asked during Sunday's leaders' debate, stating: "It's gone".
The Coalition has nevertheless gone on the attack, with some media figures pivoting from their attacks on Welcome to Country ceremonies to focus on Labor's non-existent plan to revive the defeated Indigenous body.
Mr Dutton told reporters in Melbourne Labor "clearly" hasn't abandoned plans for the Voice.
"Now, it would be one of the first items of business for a Labor-Greens government to introduce legislation to put in place the Voice and treaty and truth-telling," he said.
Indigenous groups have criticised Labor for not doing enough to implement Makarrata, or Indigenous truth-telling, commission, alongside Treaty, even after the failure of the Voice.
In August, Uluru Dialogue co-chair Aunty Pat Anderson told a forum she was getting a sense of "deja vu" and feared "we will see the Makarrata baby thrown out with the referendum bathwater" following perceived mixed messages from the Government on the truth-telling commission's future.
Mr Dutton has categorically ruled out any plans for truth-telling, and Minister for Indigenous Australians, Malarndirri McCarthy, last year said the Makarrata Commission would be "very difficult" to pursue without bipartisan support.
Senator Price, who played a leading role in the No campaign during the referendum, has been criticised after an image of her wearing a Donald Trump cap came to the fore less than a day after she told a campaign rally the Coalition wanted "Make Australia Great Again."
Speaking on 3AW on Thursday, she argued it would be a "waste of time" to revive the Voice, but believed Labor planned to legislate it, citing the "language of those talking about it".
"While they say the Voice is dead given the referendum result, I truly believe their agenda is to legislate it," Senator Price said.
Mr Dutton had previously suggested the Coalition would support a legislated Voice, rather than one enshrined in the Constitution, before flipping on the issue.
