    It’s not, and that’s an issue. It shouldn’t be something that can be gutted by the government to the point of it being irrelevant.

      Sure, but the way I equate it with is the NBN… sure the LNP NBN is far worse than what was planned, but some NBN is better than no NBN.

      Sure, the Voice can be gutted, but there has to be a voice and it has to represent aboriginal people.

      It’s not ideal policy, but I definitely don’t want to make the mistake the Greens did with the Carbon Tax… voted against something imperfect (Rudd tax) and now they get nothing as no majors want to touch it after the Gillard debacle.

      The benefit of this proposal also makes the Voice flexible and can actually be improved upon, something that couldn’t be done if aspects were rigidly defined by the constitution.

      Again, it ain’t perfect policy… but then again perfection is the enemy of good enough.
