This is a question most people ask when you're out talking to them, and it goes directly to the functions currently in the NIAA. There is a lot of confusion about how that actually is going to interact with the Voice. Does it simply duplicate the Voice? Again, in terms of the NIAA specifically, how will the government ensure the Voice does not simply duplicate the functions currently in the NIAA? They are also set up to represent Indigenous Australians.
