    Just pointing out that this claim has been debunked many times before.

    The entire proposed amendment has been published - that is what we are voting on. This Government Resource may be useful

    The implementation of the amendment is subject to Parliament and it can be changed by successive governments to suit the needs of their constituents. This article from The Conversation was posted here recently and helped a few people to better understand the amendment

    I hope this clears it up a little bit for you. I’m not going to tell you to vote yes or no - just want to make sure you have the facts straight.

      Cheers for the Conversation article. Even though it’s clearly a “Vote Yes” PR article, it has good information in it.

      The issues that I still have with it are that basically we could all vote Yes, have a voice put in the constitution, but then the government at any time can just completely change what the Voice actually entails and how it’s used. With so much handling of it left to the government of the time, it’s very hard to see how it’s not just going to be essentially ignored/reduced every time the LNP get in power for example.

      I guess a “Yes” vote is really a vote for “It’s something at least, it’s a start”, which can definitely be a good thing.
