  1. Mundines own party in government disclosed all the information required.

  2. 8 constitutional experts have all agreed a voice in the constitution does not give any special rights and so provides equality. Good to see you on board.

  3.  @r1nkyd1nk66  No the LNP has said so and the previous LNP minister Ken Wyatt said exactly this.

  4. Can you give an example of this in regards to the Australian constitution. Thankyou.

  5.  @DD-bx8rb  Google what? You clearly have no idea either.

  6.  @dougy6237  No problems can you provide a logical and coherent argument against constitutional recognition and or a voice?

  7.  @DD-bx8rb  I don't know of one constitutional expert who has expressed any great misgivings and all the independent polling has support at 65% which if translated into voting yes would easily be enough for a constitutional amendment.

  8. You understand that land rights have already been dealt with as both the Mabo and Wik decisions by the high court and the subsequent federal legislation sorted this. Your comment appears to show you have an incomplete understanding of Australian history.

  9.  @mtscott  And how do imagine a voice that has no veto power, no legislative capacity, and no financial delegation could possibly take ownership of private property?

  10.  @mtscott  How do you think they will do that? Your argument is just a slippery slope fallacy. Explain what or how you think this will happen. If you can show that conclusively to me I won't vote for a voice in the referendum.

  11.  @mtscott  You understanding of our constitution is somewhat limited. The constitution doesn't describe in detail how government and the High court works it just lays out the principle and policy. For instance where does it say how many judges make up the court? Answer it doesn't. Subsequent legislation provided that. Where in the constitution does it mention how exactly the PM and cabinet is made up. Again it doesn't. Your argument is a logical fallacy called a strawman.

  12.  @mtscott  No. The general principles were laid out in the constitution. Yes certain practices followed from conventions that existed in the colonial governments. I fail to see how those general principles don't also flow to a voice.

  13.  @joebloggs6131  Finally somebody understands the constitution. Even if they were trying to be flippant.
