Sky News Brisbane Bureau Chief Adam Walters has questioned why can’t the model for the way in which the Voice will work “be showcased to Australians before the referendum”.
“The Prime Minister says he wants to … simplify the referendum question,” he told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“The question itself will beg many more for those millions of Australians who need to know exactly what they are voting for or against. “So for the model to be released after the referendum just doesn’t seem to make any sense … such a plan could well jeopardise the prospects of the Voice.”

The proposal would then go to a parliamentary committee before legislation establishing the Voice is proposed, where it might not be operational until after the next federal election.

‘Biggest problem’ is different people want ‘different things’ from the VoiceSky News host Peta Credlin says the “biggest problem” is that different people want different things from the Indigenous Voice to Parliament. “Some want it merely to be symbolic constitutional recognition, but others want it to give Aboriginal people a virtual veto over the decisions that governments make for all of us,” she said. “Others see it as the first step towards a treaty and ultimately self-government, perhaps even a separate country for Indigenous Australians.”
