The representative body can be established without a change to the Constitution.

But since colonisation, there hasn’t been one. There was a committee briefly appointed by Rudd but then abolished by Abbott.

I’d like it enshrined because then we would have one regardless and it would take a huge effort to get it removed.

A Government that did not want it in, would simply reduced it to 1-2 people and ignore it.

It would still be better than creating a committee and then abolishing it completely until any leadership decides it’s in their interests to establish one.

We also won’t be in charge of how it’s going to work, remember. This referendum is just whether or not it should be in the constitution as a requirement.

I believe it should be.
