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.

It could be argued that they were given that protected seat at the table in 1962 when all Indigenous Australians were given the right to vote. That gives them the same level of voice and representation as that of every Australian citizen.
