The government is claiming that the Voice will merely be an "advisory body" with no actual powers, totally subject to the parliament's legislative control. So why do they want to put it in the constitution? The entire purpose of constitutions is LIMITING government power.

New Zealand has a similar institution to the Voice called the 'Waitangi Tribunal' which the Prime Minister endorsed as a model which Australia should emulate, it was also supposed to merely act as an "advisory body" but has over time become far more..https://t.co/hiY0RJyPRh
