My understanding of The Voice is that its an indigenous elected body designed to advise Parliament on matters pertaining to the indigenous people. It gains no legal powers of its own. The referendum is to enshrine it in the constitution so it cant be disposed of by the next Gov

Look, normally I come down on the side of "get more spectators in if you can" where football is concerned, but this take is wildly off.
