Again, the approach that the Prime Minister has made is around consulting, and consulting widely. That work needs to be undertaken. Minister Burney will be leading that, along with Senator Dodson.

Obviously there will be a mechanism for the voice, but we are not determining that ourselves. For too long, policies have been imposed rather than developed. And that is the work that needs to be done now. We won't play the game of dividing people on the basis of certain quotes that I haven't heard. This is a process where we would like to work together, to reach across the chamber, to hear different views, to have that fed back in—we understand there isn't unanimous agreement even in this parliament, let alone outside the parliament. So let's work together to deliver a magnificent outcome for this country.
