The Voice was suggested due to a lengthy involvement with Indigenous communities throughout Australia.
It is essential for policies that impact indigenous people to consider their input.
Policies regarding Indigenous people can be improved if the government takes the time to listen to their input and perspectives.
It will be permanent, and future governments will need help to remove it.
The Voice's ability to communicate with the "executive government" ensures its significant position is secured, regardless of future governments.
It will be gender equal and include youth members, meaning more voices from Indigenous communities will be heard.
Legal experts have carefully devised and approved it.
Having fixed terms ensures that representatives are always held accountable.
Using The Voice could be a viable means to negotiate Truth and Treaty processes with the Commonwealth.
The Australian people, through Parliament, will have the final decision on what becomes law.
It's symbolic, and fixing systemic issues facing Indigenous communities would require a body with actual power.
Governments can ignore its advice if they don't like it.
The Voice adds race to the constitution.
Because the Voice will be designed by parliament, future governments could change or sideline it.
Indigenous people already have a voice via an unprecedented level of Indigenous representation in parliament.
Truth and Treaty should come before the Voice.
