The Voice to Parliament will implement “constitutional reform” to put Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in their “rightful place” within the constitution, according to Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney.
“The Statement from the Heart is an invitation to walk together in the movement of the Australian people for a better future,” Ms Burney said during parliamentary Question Time on Thursday.
“The Australian people can be confident that the work has been done to ensure a Voice that works, a Voice that makes a practical difference, a Voice that is not another layer of bureaucracy – but a Voice that will hold bureaucracy to account, a Voice that will move Australia forward for everyone.”
