With all due respect, the issue I'm having with the answer, 'That will be a matter for the parliament,' is that, last time I checked, you are the government. You should be able to come to this place tonight and answer reasonable questions of reasonable people when they ask questions about what it would mean when we change our Constitution. What you are saying, in response to the question, 'Will there be a register of interests for the Voice representatives?', is, 'That will be a matter for the parliament.' Will Voice members need to declare political affiliations and union memberships?
