Earlier tonight when we started, you referred to the design principles and the handy little booklet that you had provided—all we're doing tonight is sitting here and interrogating the decision that have put out into the public domain. So, again, 'The Voice will be chosen by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people based on the wishes of local communities,' but the parliament is going to decide what constitutes a local community, the parliament will decide whether there will be electorates. Can I ask: will local communities align with traditional boundaries?
