In 2022, they were allocated government funding of $269M to fulfil what seems to be the intention of the Voice.
It's kinda interesting. The nuts and bolts legislation will only be ironed out after the changes to the constitution. Which is not unusual, apparently.
So, it's almost like voting for the principle of the Voice.

They should rename the show to "Feelgood Tripe To Help Forget Peter Dutton is Still Liberal Party Leader" lol
Thanks for sharing, hopefully this will help counteract some of the disinformation we've seen spread.
To be clear, this detail is not part of the constitutional amendment – and it is entirely normal for constitutions to leave this type of detail to be worked out in future by the parliament.
That statement is completely false.
There is not a single constitutional vote that has not outlined in full the changes to the constitution.
I'm all for it. More democracy sounds good to me.
