I've had quite a bit of interest in constitutional reform, and an indigenous voice to parliament in particular. Labor has pledged to hold referendums on a republic, and the indigenous voice to (in?) parliament. However, these have been very low-key and I don't see much of an effort from them to try and get the public on board and I think this dooms these proposals, which is really disappointing.
Are you planning to get on board with these ideas and to try and sell them to the public/get a wide public discussion going before committing to a referendum?
Additionally, there's a lot of commentary about whether there should be an indigenous voice in parliament (as in senate seats or a third chamber), or a voice to parliament (a seperate Nordic style indigenous parliament perhaps?). What are your thoughts on the best option in this case?
