I'll be voting Yes. If over the coming months we were to find out that somehow the Voice to Parliament will have a negative impact on demands for Treaties, truth telling, sovereignty among other things then I might change my mind but I find that unlikely. Who knows.

The big problem for me after seeing these is that it seems the government is refusing to give us actual details on what the Voice to Parliament entails. Why are they being so secretive about it and asking us to vote on something that they won't tell us what it is?

I don't think it's anything nefarious. More like Labor shooting themselves in the foot by running a shit campaign.

Very possible unfortunately. Not having an answer for basic questions like how many people are appointed, how they’re appointed, and for how long is pathetic.

The cynic in me goes straight to that there’s a reason why they’re not divulging these things and it’s because the yes voters wouldn’t like the answers.

More billshit, that assertion has already been directly disproven earlier in this thread. Why are you so committed to posting misinformation?

It was not disproven. If it is then you should be able to answer my questions in the comment you replied to then, right?

How many people are appointed?

How are they appointed?

How long are the terms of appointment?

Someone already answered this for you here. I have engaged with you in good faith previously, but it's becoming increasingly clear you are completely full of shit and are simply attempting to spread doubt and fear.
