It still doesn't get over the fundamental point that it is the High Court of Australia that will decide what the right to make a representation means. If the Voice were to be delayed in considering and making representations in relation to an issue, they have a constitutional right to make the representation. The government, though, does have an urgent decision to make, and this is the problem: they have a constitutional right to make the representation. Does that delay not then transfer to the ability of the government to make that decision, because they have the constitutional right to make representations?
