I thought a group dedicated to ensuring the matters affecting any group of peoples are represented in Parliament would be a good thing. And if this is not “good enough”, how will it have a worse outcome than voting no.

    Parliament is a group dedicated to ensuring matters affecting any group of peoples are represented.

    I am against the voice because it prioritises things based on who people are and not what their needs are. E.g. I would happily vote yes to a voice to parliament for domestic abuse survivors, but I would not for a voice to parliament for Chinese international students.

      I suppose the counterargument would be that being indigenous is both an identity and a need. I do agree with you though that this isn’t a good solution.
