| Summary: | This article sets out the background to what has occurred since the issuing of the Uluru Statement from the Heart and provides an overview of the Indigenous Voice Co-Design Interim Report and its Voice design options. In doing so, we discuss the possible progression of Local and Regional Voices and other sub-national legislation on First Nations issues. We analyse how those efforts might be limited and/or extinguished if a First Nations Voice is not constitutionally enshrined when we consider the relationship and legislative powers of the Commonwealth, state, and territory parliaments. |
