Minister for Indigenous Australians Linda Burney has slammed opposition leader Peter Dutton for spreading "disinformation and misinformation and scare campaigns" as the House of Representatives resumed debate on the Voice to Parliament.

The proposal re-entered the lower house on Monday following the parliamentary Joint Select Committee recommendation that the Constitution Alteration Bill pass without alteration after weeks-long consultation and deliberation.

Ms Burney blasted Mr Dutton after he claimed "if the voice is embedded in our Constitution, there will be little to rejoice" and would result in racial division "both in spirit and in law", branding the proposal as a regression of civil rights movements of the 20th century.

"Changing our constitution to enshrine a voice will take our country backwards, not forwards. The voice is regressive, not progressive. And it should be very clear to Australians by now that the Prime Minister is dividing our country not uniting us," Mr Dutton, who boycotted the Apology to the Stolen Generations in 2008, said.

The Opposition Leader accused Anthony Albanese of "deliberately" forgoing a constitutional convention on the Voice.

"Instead, we've had a four and a half day committee - a kangaroo court led by a government that never wanted to entertain changes to its proposed bill," he said.

Mr Dutton repeated his past claims that the Voice could override parliamentary process and that a lack of detail has been presented on the proposal.

He also said the principals of recognition and consultation have been conflated by the Prime Minister.

Mr Dutton said there are already "hundreds of bodies across the nation which represent Indigenous views and are made up of Indigenous Australians" overseeing relevant decision-making.

Ms Burney was scathing in her response.

"We have just heard, in one speech, every bit of disinformation and misinformation and scare campaigns that exist in this debate," she said.

The Minister agreed with Mr Dutton's point that the upcoming referendum is a decision for the Australian public, and not a political "play thing".

"In 2023, Australians will again vote in a referendum. One based on hope. Hope for a better future. Hope built on the aspirations of Indigenous Australians, embodied in the Uluru Statement from the Heart," Ms Burney said.

"In 2023, it's time for recognition."

She denied assertions the referendum has been rushed into saying "no short cuts have been taken", citing a grassroots movement and years of consultation and hard work.

Ms Burney expressed the desire for the Voice to tackle gaps in life expectancy, infant mortality rates and incarceration rates, and to help Indigenous people who "have been left behind".

"I believe the Constitutional Amendment before the Parliament takes the right form," she said.

"It is symbolic - and practical. It recognises 65,000 years of Australian history. It makes our system of government stronger. It will make a practical difference on the ground in communities.

"It will improve people's lives. It is constitutionally sound. It gets the balance right."

Ms Burney cited the Solicitor General's assessment the Voice could serve as an "enhancement" of representative and responsible government and its rationale to "facilitate more effective input by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in public discussion and debate about governmental and political matters relating to them".

"And yet this is not enough for those hell-bent on dashing the hopes of a people. Not enough for those hell-bent on stoking division. It's not enough for those trying to play politics with an issue that should be above partisan politics," she said.

Ms Burney encouraged all members of the Parliament to support Constitutional Alteration without amendment.
