All the details? Really? How many people would this government put on the board? How would they be selected?
Point me to those details please.

We’re not going to be able to answer those questions because you voted no, were those really your hangups, though? How many people would be on the advisory board? If you’re actually curious to learn more, go have a read here It’s a bit late, though.

Those were some of my hangups, yes.
That site doesn’t tell me what the Albanese government were going to do if it passed.

Recognise aboriginals in the constitution and add an advisory board that can’t simply be removed by the next government. It says it right there. The advisory board wouldn’t change how our government is run in any way, it would just be there to help decision making on things specifically relating to aboriginal affairs. I’m not sure if you’re actually being sincere here, it’s not a nefarious plot or anything. Advisory boards are a very common normal thing and you can read about them here: www.directory.gov.au/…/what-board There’s also a list of all the advisory boards we currently have. But seriously, there’s a ton of information on how it would have worked. voice.gov.au/resources/information-booklet This mentions it would have members from each of the states, territories and Torres Strait islands. So now you know, had you done some basic research you would have gotten your answer.
