I can tell you, Senator Cash, that in all the many discussions that I've had with people about the Voice, I have not had a single person come to me and say 'You know what I'm really wondering about the Voice? I'm wondering what you mean by 'respectful'. That's what I really want to know when I'm making up my mind about the Voice.' You know and I know, Senator Cash, that these questions are not genuine. You know and I know that these questions are all designed to stoke fear, risk and feed the No campaign.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Minister, you need to withdraw that. That's an imputation about motor.

I withdraw. Seriously, at 2.21am, if the best questions that the opposition has are about the definition of terms that are quite self-explanatory, we have a lot of work to do with the opposition.
