The Voice design principles say that local groups will be asked to provide input.
These principles commit the government to a Voice that is chosen based on the wishes of local communities, is not appointed by government, reflects gender balance and youth perspectives, and all members must be Indigenous.
This article is really worth reading, it addresses a lot of the fears and misinformation out there.
Thanks for the article, will give it a read. I’m still undecided as yeh most indigenous people I’ve seen posting about it on my social media are against it, but surely giving them a protected seat at the table is better than not having one.
