It is true that the body will be made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, but that follows from the purpose of the body and is explained in the next paragraph as to how the body will be formed. <a href="/wiki/User:Safes007" title="User:Safes007">Safes007</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Safes007" title="User talk:Safes007">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-Safes007-20230525133600-Characterisation_of_the_body_in_the_first_paragraph" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:36, 25 May 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Safes007-20230525133600-Characterisation_of_the_body_in_the_first_paragraph"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230525133600","author":"Safes007","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Safes007-20230525133600-Characterisation_of_the_body_in_the_first_paragraph","replies":["c-Mitch_Ames-20230526001400-Safes007-20230525133600"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Safes007-20230525133600-Characterisation_of_the_body_in_the_first_paragraph"></span> </p> <dl><dd><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament&amp;diff=1157051974&amp;oldid=1157050443"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mitch_Ames-20230526001400-Safes007-20230525133600"></span>This</a> might resolve the disagreement. <a href="/wiki/User:Mitch_Ames" title="User:Mitch Ames">Mitch Ames</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mitch_Ames" title="User talk:Mitch Ames">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-Mitch_Ames-20230526001400-Safes007-20230525133600" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:14, 26 May 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mitch_Ames-20230526001400-Safes007-20230525133600"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230526001400","author":"Mitch Ames","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Mitch_Ames-20230526001400-Safes007-20230525133600","replies":["c-HiLo48-20230526002500-Mitch_Ames-20230526001400"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mitch_Ames-20230526001400-Safes007-20230525133600"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-HiLo48-20230526002500-Mitch_Ames-20230526001400"></span>The word <i>race</i> is not used in any part of the proposal for the referendum. This is simply an extension of the fact that the government does not use the word race to classify any people in Australia at all. The national census reflects this too, by asking about ancestry rather than race. The word IS used as part of the No campaign. There have been several attempts by an IP editor to add it here, presumably by someone opposed to the Voice. After once explaining the reason, to no avail, I have taken to simply reverting on sight. <a href="/wiki/User:HiLo48" title="User:HiLo48">HiLo48</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:HiLo48" title="User talk:HiLo48">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-HiLo48-20230526002500-Mitch_Ames-20230526001400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:25, 26 May 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-HiLo48-20230526002500-Mitch_Ames-20230526001400"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230526002500","author":"HiLo48","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-HiLo48-20230526002500-Mitch_Ames-20230526001400","replies":["c-Mitch_Ames-20230526003600-HiLo48-20230526002500","c-Mitch_Ames-20230526004100-HiLo48-20230526002500","c-Mitch_Ames-20230526023000-HiLo48-20230526002500"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-HiLo48-20230526002500-Mitch_Ames-20230526001400"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mitch_Ames-20230526003600-HiLo48-20230526002500"></span>While I agree with you that "race" is not part of the proposal, the IPs have a point - albeit badly worded - that eligibility for membership of the Voice is based on a specific criteria.

Like we aren't "multiracial" but instead we are "multicultural". Now we can acknowledge that Racism does exist, but "race" isn't really part of the conversation, with it being more towards specific ethnic groups (for example Lebanese and Greek Australians).</dd> <dd>I think that editors are just trying to add "race based" in bad faith, rather than encyclopaedic reasonings. By adding "race based" they are implying that it is a discriminatory policy, due to the current and historical usage of the phrase, "race based".</dd> <dd>I hope this makes sense, if anyone would like to discuss this further on my talk page that will be fine. I just think that we probably need to understand exactly what we are implying if we are going to be using such charged terminology in an already controversial legislation.</dd> <dd>Thanks! <a href="/wiki/User:AverageFraud" title="User:AverageFraud">AverageFraud</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:AverageFraud" title="User talk:AverageFraud">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-AverageFraud-20230526112900-Mitch_Ames-20230526023000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:29, 26 May 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-AverageFraud-20230526112900-Mitch_Ames-20230526023000"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230526112900","author":"AverageFraud","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-AverageFraud-20230526112900-Mitch_Ames-20230526023000","replies":["c-Safes007-20230529025400-AverageFraud-20230526112900","c-Mitch_Ames-20230526121100-AverageFraud-20230526112900"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-AverageFraud-20230526112900-Mitch_Ames-20230526023000"></span> <dl><dd><a href="/wiki/User:AverageFraud" title="User:AverageFraud"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Safes007-20230529025400-AverageFraud-20230526112900"></span>@AverageFraud</a> The only caveat to this is that current positive Indigenous legislation (such as the native title act) is passed under <a href="/wiki/Section_51(xxvi)_of_the_Constitution_of_Australia" title="Section 51(xxvi) of the Constitution of Australia">Section 51(xxvi) of the Constitution of Australia</a> as a 'special law for the people of any race' (paraphrasing).

But what about "local voice", "regional voice", "national voice"? Are they proper nouns? <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament&amp;oldid=1157373141">Currently</a> we have a mixture, including "Local and Regional voices" - and I can't think of any rationale for capitalising "Local" and "Regional" here but not "voice". </p><p>Personally I think "local", "regional" and "national" should never be capitalised. I'm inclined to think that "voice" (singular or plural) after any of those words ought not be either, because there is only one <em><a href="/wiki/Proper_name" class="mw-redirect" title="Proper name">proper named</a></em> "Voice" - the "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice", or "Indigenous Voice ...".

For example, I used National Voice and Local and Regional Voices for the proposed bodies in the liberal 2021 co-design report as they used capitals in the final report, but small v to describe the proposed bodies before the report was released.</dd> <dd>However, I also see how that can have edge cases (like reports by non gov bodies), so the general rule you proposed above is also good, for the context of this page whose scope (I believe) is mostly focused on the currently proposed Voice. <a href="/wiki/User:Safes007" title="User:Safes007">Safes007</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Safes007"

It currently reads; "It has also been described by Rule of Law Institute of Australia Vice-President, Chris Merritt, as “...clearly restrict the sovereign power of the Commonwealth in a way that nobody has even considered. It's very, very worrying.”. The current inclusion of the quote doesn't make much gramatical sense. Merrit, and the Rule of Law Institute of Australia have also expressed opposition to the current Voice Proposal, and i think this information should be included. </p><p>I suggest changing it from"It has also been described by Rule of Law Institute of Australia Vice-President, Chris Merritt, as “...clearly restrict the sovereign power of the Commonwealth in a way that nobody has even considered.

Whether you agree or not with the Murdoch line, it's simply a bad look. <a href="/wiki/User:HiLo48" title="User:HiLo48">HiLo48</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:HiLo48" title="User talk:HiLo48">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-HiLo48-20230531050100-Ilenart626-20230531040800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:01, 31 May 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-HiLo48-20230531050100-Ilenart626-20230531040800"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230531050100","author":"HiLo48","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-HiLo48-20230531050100-Ilenart626-20230531040800","replies":["c-Poketama-20230603100800-HiLo48-20230531050100"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-HiLo48-20230531050100-Ilenart626-20230531040800"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Poketama-20230603100800-HiLo48-20230531050100"></span>This article might be helpful for balance. <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-14/voice-to-parliament-referendum-committee-inquiry/102222928">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-14/voice-to-parliament-referendum-committee-inquiry/102222928</a> <a href="/wiki/User:Poketama" title="User:Poketama">Poketama</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Poketama" title="User talk:Poketama">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-Poketama-20230603100800-HiLo48-20230531050100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:08, 3 June 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Poketama-20230603100800-HiLo48-20230531050100"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230603100800","author":"Poketama","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Poketama-20230603100800-HiLo48-20230531050100","replies":["c-Jack_Upland-20230604044500-Poketama-20230603100800"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Poketama-20230603100800-HiLo48-20230531050100"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Jack_Upland-20230604044500-Poketama-20230603100800"></span>I don't see the problem with citing Murdoch publications.<a href="/wiki/User:Jack_Upland" title="User:Jack Upland">Jack Upland</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Jack_Upland" title="User talk:Jack Upland">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-Jack_Upland-20230604044500-Poketama-20230603100800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:45, 4 June 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Jack_Upland-20230604044500-Poketama-20230603100800"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230604044500","author":"Jack Upland","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Jack_Upland-20230604044500-Poketama-20230603100800","replies":["c-HiLo48-20230604064000-Jack_Upland-20230604044500"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Jack_Upland-20230604044500-Poketama-20230603100800"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-HiLo48-20230604064000-Jack_Upland-20230604044500"></span>The problem is that EVERY negative comment about the Voice comes directly from a NewsCorp source, or from someone who writes for NewsCorp.

You seem to be making two claims: (1) Opposition in the juridicial concerns section is entirely sourced to News Corp publications (descriptive claim); (2) having this opposition entirely sourced to News Corp publications is a bad thing (normative claim). As Ilenart has already said, (1) is just false on the facts. AFR, ABC and The Conversation are cited to support negative perspectives on the proposed constitutional wording, none of which are published by News Corp. I would also disagree with the normative claim (2). What is important is whether the sources cited are reliable, not whether they are published by News Corp. And you don't seem to be alleging News Corp sources are unreliable. So, once again, I don't see a problem here. – <a href="/wiki/User:Teratix" title="User:Teratix">Tera</a><b><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Teratix" title="User talk:Teratix">tix</a></b> <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Teratix" title="Special:Contributions/Teratix">₵</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-Teratix-20230605135300-HiLo48-20230604083300" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:53, 5 June 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Teratix-20230605135300-HiLo48-20230604083300"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230605135300","author":"Teratix","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Teratix-20230605135300-HiLo48-20230604083300","replies":["c-HiLo48-20230605220300-Teratix-20230605135300"],"displayName":"Tera"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Teratix-20230605135300-HiLo48-20230604083300"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-HiLo48-20230605220300-Teratix-20230605135300"></span>You are misreading my position.

Although the government <em>could</em> create the Voice without a referendum or Constitutional change, the Voice will - if approved by referendum - be added to the Constitution, and thus "empowered by the Constitution". The fact that the govt could create a non-constitutional Voice does not invalid that it could added to the Constitution. (Whether it is purely "symbolic" is a matter of opinion that does not affect the fact of the current sentence.) <a href="/wiki/User:Mitch_Ames" title="User:Mitch Ames">Mitch Ames</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mitch_Ames" title="User talk:Mitch Ames">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-Mitch_Ames-20230804011000-Skyring-20230804010200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:10, 4 August 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mitch_Ames-20230804011000-Skyring-20230804010200"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230804011000","author":"Mitch Ames","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Mitch_Ames-20230804011000-Skyring-20230804010200","replies":["c-Skyring-20230804011700-Mitch_Ames-20230804011000"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mitch_Ames-20230804011000-Skyring-20230804010200"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Skyring-20230804011700-Mitch_Ames-20230804011000"></span>It is - as noted - misleading in that it suggests that a referendum is required.

Given that the Opposition Leader is publicly opposing it, that would seem to be likely in the present circumstances.

It has always existed, in a constitutional sense, since 1901, and will continue to exist until such time as a referendum removes it from the Constitution. Why? Because the Constitution says it exists. Yes, the Constitution also says that the Parliament has the power to decide how it will operate in a practical sense, and that includes circumstances in which it is NOT operating in a practical sense (such as 1901-12, 1920-75, and since 1990). If the current government chose to remake the ISC in the form it once had, it wouldn't require any new laws, simply an Administrative Arrangements Order signed by the G-G.</dd> <dd>Similarly, if the Voice referendum gets up, the Voice will exist because the Constitution will say it does. The Voice will have been created BY the Constitution, exactly as the ISC was created BY the Constitution. The fact that a form of a Voice <i>could</i> be created by legislation doesn't alter this. Any Voice created by legislation would have the character of impermanence, and any and all of its fundamental properties, features, rights and responsibilities could change whenever the parliament decrees; while the fundamental aspects of a constitutionally created Voice could not be changed except via another referendum. So, we're essentially comparing apples and oranges. Yes, I know nothing in the Constitution is ever truly permanent, which is why there's a mechanism for changing it, but that argument leads us down ferret burrows and places we don't need to go. (Nothing in the entire Universe is ever truly permanent, except the Universe itself.) So, the Voice that will be created if the referendum passes will indeed be a new head of power.</dd> <dd>This is why I would prefer to say: "If approved in an upcoming referendum ... the Constitution would <b>establish</b> the Voice, which could make representations to the Parliament .." -- <a href="/wiki/User:JackofOz" title="User:JackofOz"><span style="font-family: Papyrus;">Jack of Oz</span></a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:JackofOz#top" title="User talk:JackofOz"><span style="font-size:85%; font-family: Verdana;"><sup>[pleasantries]</sup></span></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-JackofOz-20230804225100-Skyring-20230804221100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:51, 4 August 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-JackofOz-20230804225100-Skyring-20230804221100"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230804225100","author":"JackofOz","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-JackofOz-20230804225100-Skyring-20230804221100","replies":["c-Skyring-20230804232300-JackofOz-20230804225100"],"displayName":"Jack of Oz"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-JackofOz-20230804225100-Skyring-20230804221100"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Skyring-20230804232300-JackofOz-20230804225100"></span>My point is that the I-SC is mentioned in the Constitution but has no physical existence.

But the words lie behind that activity, and authorise it, and not just permit it, but demand that it occur. This is the very real difference between a doctor's prescription and the Voice constitutional provision. A patient has to decide to go to the chemist to have the script filled, and then has to decide to take the pill, and decide to keep on taking it for as long as the script indicates. But once the Voice is in the Constitution, the Voice will exist, full stop. What happens next in terms of parliamentary activity about its operating rules etc cannot ever make the Voice cease to exist. Only another referendum could do that. -- <a href="/wiki/User:JackofOz" title="User:JackofOz"><span style="font-family: Papyrus;">Jack of Oz</span></a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:JackofOz#top" title="User talk:JackofOz"><span style="font-size:85%; font-family: Verdana;"><sup>[pleasantries]</sup></span></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-JackofOz-20230805033100-Skyring-20230804232300" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:31, 5 August 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-JackofOz-20230805033100-Skyring-20230804232300"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230805033100","author":"JackofOz","type":"comment","level":8,"id":"c-JackofOz-20230805033100-Skyring-20230804232300","replies":["c-Skyring-20230805035700-JackofOz-20230805033100","c-Mitch_Ames-20230805041000-JackofOz-20230805033100"],"displayName":"Jack of Oz"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-JackofOz-20230805033100-Skyring-20230804232300"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Skyring-20230805035700-JackofOz-20230805033100"></span>My point about the Commonwealth is that the Constitution became law on 9 July 1900 but the Commonwealth had no physical existence until 1 January 1901, nearly six months later. Just a potential. The timings on that day aren't critical. I think that the ceremonies took place at noon, or possibly on the stroke of the new millennium in London, but whatever, the thing was up and running after that moment. Something real, something tangible, something costing money, owning assets, employing staff, holding proceedings and taking notes.</dd> <dd>I don't think it's quite so (so to speak) black and white as existence/non-existence. We say <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, also known as the Indigenous Voice to Parliament or the Voice, is a proposed Australian federal advisory body comprising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people…</p></blockquote></dd> <dd>What sort of existence does a federal advisory body have if it has no bodies? I think a reasonable person would say there is a potential existence but not an actual tangible fungible <i>corpus</i>.</dd> <dd>Anyway, this is all getting rather arcane. Once Albo is voted out (or booted out by his own party, both apparently equally popular ways for Prime Ministers to leave the stage nowadays) the mere fact of whatever sort of constitutional existence the Voice, the Inter-State Commission, the right to trial by jury and so on might enjoy does not mean that any of those things will have anything that an ordinary mortal might latch onto.</dd> <dd>The next PM along could repeal the Voice legislation or modify it into irrelevance or simply dump it out the door. The words of the Constitution have no power in themselves, the High Court cannot force the government to implement it in a form of the High Court's choosing, the thing would have a notional existence but there would be no advisory body to offer advice.</dd> <dd>Simply holding a referendum and getting a YES vote doesn't mean there is an actual advisory body. It would not have the solidity of constitutional permanence that a person lacking constitutional understanding could imagine it might have. Governments could tinker with it any way they wanted. --<a href="/wiki/User:Skyring" title="User:Skyring">Pete</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Skyring" title="User talk:Skyring">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-Skyring-20230805035700-JackofOz-20230805033100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:57, 5 August 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Skyring-20230805035700-JackofOz-20230805033100"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230805035700","author":"Skyring","type":"comment","level":9,"id":"c-Skyring-20230805035700-JackofOz-20230805033100","replies":["c-HiLo48-20230805040300-Skyring-20230805035700"],"displayName":"Pete"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Skyring-20230805035700-JackofOz-20230805033100"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-HiLo48-20230805040300-Skyring-20230805035700"></span>WTF?

The Voice, even with a YES vote, doesn't have any real solidity. Firstly there is the example of the constitutionally-enshrined Inter-State Commission that no longer exists because a PM simply abolished it. And secondly, the Voice itself would be set up and administered through ordinary legislation that could be modified and repealed in exactly the same way as ATSIC and other advisory bodies were established and demolished through whims of democracy.</dd> <dd>I am sorry that your comment above was seized upon by others.

The constitutional amendment requires the Voice to be comprised of Indigenous people and to make representations on matters affecting indigenous people, but there is nothing that requires the members of the body to represent the views of Indigenous communities (wherever they may be). Assuming a member is elected to represent a certain community, on deciding whether or not to vote on giving a representation to parliament, they may (and probably usually will) decide to base their decision on the views of the community, but will ultimately make the decision themselves based of various factors. The Voice isn't just a conference of delegates bound to act a certain way, there's a broader purpose and discretion. Similarly, MPs aren't elected to represent their seats views, they also need to consider party politics and compromise. <a href="/wiki/User:Safes007" title="User:Safes007">Safes007</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Safes007" title="User talk:Safes007">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-Safes007-20230824083200-Member_representing_views_of_the_community" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:32, 24 August 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Safes007-20230824083200-Member_representing_views_of_the_community"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230824083200","author":"Safes007","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Safes007-20230824083200-Member_representing_views_of_the_community","replies":["c-Mitch_Ames-20230824094700-Safes007-20230824083200"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Safes007-20230824083200-Member_representing_views_of_the_community"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mitch_Ames-20230824094700-Safes007-20230824083200"></span><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk inline-quote-talk-marks">The constitutional amendment requires the Voice to be comprised of Indigenous people</q> — No it does not.

'Reflect the wishes of their communities' is a much broader idea than representing the views of a community, as the former gives more leeway to consider other factors.</dd> <dd>I think '... to be comprised of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, chosen according to the wishes of Indigenous communities' gets across this leeway, while still maintaining the link to Indigenous Communities, with the fact that they will reflect the views of their communities being an obvious implication, but one that arises structurally, not due to a legal requirement. <a href="/wiki/User:Safes007" title="User:Safes007">Safes007</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Safes007" title="User talk:Safes007">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-Safes007-20230824142900-Mitch_Ames-20230824094700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:29, 24 August 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Safes007-20230824142900-Mitch_Ames-20230824094700"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230824142900","author":"Safes007","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Safes007-20230824142900-Mitch_Ames-20230824094700","replies":["c-Mitch_Ames-20230825095600-Safes007-20230824142900"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Safes007-20230824142900-Mitch_Ames-20230824094700"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mitch_Ames-20230825095600-Safes007-20230824142900"></span>I still think that, for the first sentence, it is more important to mention the mandatory constitutionally-required purpose of the Voice (make representation to government) than it is to mention how it is chosen (which is not constitutionally required).

For example, as an analogy, I don't think the sentence 'The Australian Senate, is an Australian house of parliament comprising members to represent the views of their States.' is correct as someone like Pauline Hanson or other minor parties aren't merely representing the views of their state. They also seek to change the views of their state, campaign on issues or just represent a subset of the State.

The only sections that I believe would be relevant to this article would be "Indigenous Australians in the Constitution" and "Previous national Indigenous advisory bodies", and even then these need to be shorter and put into their own articles. Also the last section "State and territory voices" just needs it's own article/s and should be linked in see also. The current article is bloated and is in desperate need of some copyediting. I will begin doing this work tomorrow if no one is opposed. <a href="/wiki/User:AverageFraud" title="User:AverageFraud">AverageFraud</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:AverageFraud" title="User talk:AverageFraud">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament#c-AverageFraud-20230923104700-AverageFraud-20230923102600" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:47, 23 September 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-AverageFraud-20230923104700-AverageFraud-20230923102600"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230923104700","author":"AverageFraud","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-AverageFraud-20230923104700-AverageFraud-20230923102600","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-AverageFraud-20230923104700-AverageFraud-20230923102600"></span></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONDESKTOP__{&quot;headingLevel&quot;:2,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;h-Mitch_Ames-20230926055300&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;heading&quot;,&quot;level&quot;:0,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;h-arguments_in_favour_and_against-20230926055300&quot;,&quot;replies&quot;:[&quot;c-Mitch_Ames-20230926055300-arguments_in_favour_and_against&quot;],&quot;text&quot;:&quot;arguments in favour and against&quot;,&quot;linkableTitle&quot;:&quot;arguments in favour and against&quot;}--><h2 id="arguments_in_favour_and_against" data-mw-thread-id="h-arguments_in_favour_and_against-20230926055300"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-arguments_in_favour_and_against-20230926055300"></span>arguments in favour and against<span data-mw-comment-end="h-arguments_in_favour_and_against-20230926055300"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament&amp;action=edit&amp;section=21" title="Edit section: arguments in favour and against"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Mitch_Ames-20230926055300","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-arguments_in_favour_and_against-20230926055300","replies":["c-Mitch_Ames-20230926055300-arguments_in_favour_and_against"]}}--><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><!--__DTLATESTCOMMENTTHREAD__{"id":"c-DarmaniLink-20231018182600-Mitch_Ames-20230926055300","timestamp":"20231018182600"}__--><!--__DTCOMMENTCOUNT__9__--><!--__DTAUTHORCOUNT__5__--></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONMOBILE__{&quot;headingLevel&quot;:2,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;h-Mitch_Ames-20230926055300&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;heading&quot;,&quot;level&quot;:0,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;h-arguments_in_favour_and_against-20230926055300&quot;,&quot;replies&quot;:[&quot;c-Mitch_Ames-20230926055300-arguments_in_favour_and_against&quot;],&quot;text&quot;:&quot;arguments in favour and against&quot;,&quot;linkableTitle&quot;:&quot;arguments in favour and against&quot;}--></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mitch_Ames-20230926055300-arguments_in_favour_and_against"></span>Re: arguments in favour and against, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indigenous_Voice_to_Parliament&amp;curid=62922049&amp;diff=1177134475&amp;oldid=1177133254">removed here</a>...
