The question I then have is this: if not, will this mean that some Australians who are eligible to be Voice representatives will not receive the benefits of Commonwealth legislation intended to benefit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, or vice versa? Will the government commit to ensuring that this is not the case? If you're not going to have consistency in the actual definition, are you actually going to end up having a problem.
