Well, aren't we all lucky, then—and, again, we're on broadcast, for anybody listening in—that Minister Watt has a very handy information booklet! I think that is exactly what Minister Watt said. He has a very handy information booklet. We've established so far that there is next to no detail for the Australian people when we ask serious questions in relation to their Constitution, but we are told by the minister representing the government in this debate: 'We have a very handy information booklet.' I suppose that is one step up from: 'That will be a matter for the parliament.'

If the Voice is permanently enshrined in our Constitution, would the Voice have a future international role, as proposed by the Calma-Langton report?
