Why not within the constitution? The only distinction is that it can't be removed by the Liberal party, again.

The thing is though, Indigenous Australians ARE distinct from other races in Australia. They are indigenous, and they have been colonised. They have strong justifications to seek the right to determine their own future in this country.

At NO point has there ever been no detail about this. It is an advisory body to Parliament. When Parliament is making decisions, it can seek advice from this Indigenous-focused body. It is that simple. But by having the Murdoch press and Liberal government shovel this "ohhh but but but there's no detail!" line over and over and over again, people started to believe it. For no fucking reason, since the purpose of the Voice has been clear since day 1.
