I am explaining the principles that underpin the Voice, which is the question that the senator has asked of me. It will be empowering, community led, inclusive, respectful, culturally informed, accountable and transparent, working alongside existing organisations and traditional structures. It will not have a veto power. As the minister has said, it will focus on health, education, jobs and housing. (Time expired)
