The Indigenous Voice in the Plural
I'm deeply worried that the idea of a treaty would be driven by elites purporting to represent Aboriginal people. We can't live as islands in this country, Australia. We are Australians together.

These things are not being explained or explored in any way that's meaningful to the Australian people. And so if it is established, there would be differences of opinion. You might say healthy differences of opinion but one shouldn't then make the mistake of thinking that is being in the singular other than as a result of voting within the decision making processes.
