  1. Rowan did an excellent job this morning pointing out 'The Voice' already exists. Not kind off, not just because there are a number of aboriginal people in parliament, but because it REALLY does exist EXACTLY in the form and function the 'yes' campaign are pushing for. It is called the National Indigenous Australians Agency. It has a full time staff, headed by an aboriginal person, was established by Executive Order in 2019, and is funded by the Federal Parliament. Its 'mission statement' is EXACTLY what 'the voice' is supposed to do, and another body would be a complete duplication. From the NIAA website's Mission Statement ....... "to lead and coordinate Commonwealth policy development, program design and implementation and service delivery for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; to provide advice to the Prime Minister and the Minister for Indigenous Australians on whole-of-government priorities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; to lead and coordinate the development and implementation of Australia’s Closing the Gap targets in partnership with Indigenous Australians; and to lead Commonwealth activities to promote reconciliation."

  2.  @r1nkyd1nk66  Same here, I hadn't heard of it before either. Can't believe the informed 'no' side of the debate has taken this long to point it out. If it needs a few 'tweaks', fine. Establish a review and just make some changes if there are areas identified for improvement. Job done, end of story.
