Our own Ian Wilson LL. B argued this a few days ago at the blog, that PM Albo’s claim that the Voice to parliament, if successful in the coming referendum, would not be limited to narrow issues traditionally viewed as “Aboriginal.” All issues, including defence, taxation, social security and immigration etc. impact upon Aboriginal people. It seems completely logical. And, the constitutional law expert who help draft the final wording of the constitutional amendment has said that the Voice cannot be “shut up,” and is not limited in scope. That too sounds reasonable, and I imagine, as Ian argued, that the High Court would conclude that going to the extent to have a referendum to change the constitution indicates the Voice should not be limited.
Too bad for Albo if the Voice turns on his mass immigration program, which threatens Aboriginal health and housing as much as the rest of us!
