My question is to Senator Gallagher, representing the Minister for Indigenous Australians. Today, Michael Long concludes his second Long Walk from Melbourne to Canberra, advocating for a voice to parliament. Since his first walk in 2004, to combat racial discrimination, we've made meaningful strides including the apology to the stolen generations. This time, Mr Long used his walk to advocate we take the next steps together: recognition and practical action through the Voice. Can the minister explain how the Voice will empower Indigenous Australians in key areas like health, education and housing?
