I read that the Constitutional change is to amount to three clauses:

1. There shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voice.

2. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voice may make representations to parliament and the executive government on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

3. The parliament shall, subject to this constitution, have power to make laws with respect to the composition, functions, powers and procedures of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voice.

This proposal 3. is oddly redundant because with respect to cl 3. s51(xxvi) of the Constitution already empowers Parliament to pass law with regards to "race" (the "other than the Aboriginal race" was removed in the 1967 referendum). Since Parliament already has a general power, why add a specific power?

Once we know that there's already a Constitutional power for Parliament to enact the Voice, why bother adding an expensive specific power to enact a body with no legal power to do anything other than to "advise"?
