With all due respect, this is asking the Australian people to make a massive amendment to our Constitution with regard to Indigenous Australians. This is why we are asking these questions. We're asking these questions on behalf of Australians and Indigenous Australians alike and those who have certainly been left out of decision-making within organisations. I personally witnessed my own grandmother being punched at a Central Land Council meeting. So we would like to understand how the Voice will deal with conflict resolution.
