Yes is the short answer. But I have to say I'm very surprised to hear that, should the referendum succeed, the opposition intends to play no role in parliament's decisions as to how the Voice would operate. As I said, I'm surprised that you're making that decision at this point in time. But, if that's the decision that you've made, then I guess that's a matter for you.
