Will The Voice Need to Approve Every Single Bill? Voice Myths Debunked

from Auspol Explained · host David Cox

There's the claim that the Voice's approval will be required to pass any bill, or that even Parliament would need to consult the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice ahead of time before it could pass anything. In this episode I'll explain why that doesn't work either constitutionally or practically, and why the Voice won't even read or examine every single bill let alone wish to comment on or have an opinion on every bill. It's approval also is not a requirement to pass a bill, as the constitution clearly doesn't put that restriction on Parliament. AAP Fact Check labels this bit of misinformation as "absurd gibberish": https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/voice-approval-claim-is-absurd-gibberish/ Support the channel on patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AuspolExplained Like Auspol Explained on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Auspol-Explained-107892180702388 Auspol Explained would like to acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people and their Elders as the owners and custodians of the Land that the episode was recorded and edited on. This Land was stolen and never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
