If it's been acknowledged in these chambers that not all of us who are of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage—who belong to that particular race of Australians—are marginalised, the idea would be to provide the opportunity for our marginalised to have the same opportunities that the 11 Indigenous Australians elected to this parliament have had, including Senator McCarthy and me. Isn't that in contrast to what the Voice is suggesting, in that the Voice is suggesting that Senator McCarthy, Senator Stewart and I—because we belong to this racial group—are disadvantaged?
