CASH (—) (): Again, Minister, with all due respect, as I previously stated, when the government released the design principles, the Prime Minister expressly said they were endorsed by cabinet, but the referendum working group stood with the Prime Minister and, on behalf of Tony McAvoy SC, they actually said that they 'hope the principles will go a long way to eradicating the fears that some people might have about the Voice'. All we have confirmed tonight is that people should be very, very fearful about the Voice. What does 'community led' mean in the context of a referendum to change the Constitution?

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Senator Cash, please resume your seat. Senator Whish-Wilson, you are wilfully and repeatedly defying standing orders. Please follow the debate in silence or leave the chamber.

What does 'community led' mean, in the context of a referendum to change the Constitution to establish a single body? What does 'inclusive' mean in the context of a referendum to change the Constitution to establish a single body? What does 'respectful' mean in the context of a referendum to change the Constitution to establish a single body? And what does 'culturally informed' mean in the context of a referendum to change the Constitution to establish a single body?
