So if they can make submissions to parliament and the executive on matters, which don't have to acted upon, why do we need constitutional reform to allow it as part of our government. Aren't their numerous other organisations that do this already, provide advice to parliament on matters affecting First Nations people though their representatives?

I understand they won't hold a position within the upper or lower house but is it incorrect to say they won't hold a position in parliament?
I think more needs to be done when it comes to First Nations people and closing the gaps but just can't get past the fact of allowing a group based on race to hold a position in parliament without being voted in each term by Australian voters.
Boost was my most used app for several years. Really excited for this and to see the Fediverse grow.
No worries. Thanks for taking the time to explain. Definitely need to read more before the referendum.
