The first day of a parliamentary inquiry into the proposed wording of the Voice to Parliament constitutional amendment has focused on the inclusion of "executive government"
One of the nation's most highly regarded constitutional barristers, Bret Walker SC, dubbed suggestions the Voice would clog the courts with legal challenges "too silly for words". Prominent High Court barrister Bret Walker rubbished suggestions that the ability of the proposed independent advisory body to "make representations to executive government" would result in court challenges.
Professor Greg Craven says he supports a Voice to Parliament but has concerns about the referendum wording.Constitutional conservative Greg Craven — who has publicly said he would vote "Yes", regardless of whether changes are made — again argued the proposed wording could be improved. "Yes, of course it will be litigated, but you don't need to make it so unclear that it will be litigated to death."Professor Craven suggested including the words "legal effect of representations' in the draft amendment would address some but not all of his concerns.
What’s that crap on her forehead
Is this really the most important issue in Australia right now? Because it is the ONLY thing Albo and his mates are talking about! It’s a disgrace
Only some not all, so there would be those thst don't. Can we have balanced reporting?
Is she Aboriginal? Is it not funny or suspicious that since the introduction of benefits that the Aboriginal population has increased by 650% since 1971 so if you have even the tiniest hint of Aboriginallity it’s the way to go andthe human rights sees no racism or discrimination
Headline should read - “some experts recommend scope of voice should be narrowed” but that wouldn’t fit with your narrative
Can 'experts' be trusted any more?
Brown paper bags 💰
😂😂😂😂😂 Lefties 😂😂😂
I’m voting NO and urge others to. 3% of unelected people *advising* the Parliament, because of their race isn’t democracy, it’s a broken political system VoteNo
Canberra is the nation's capital and seat of the Federal Government. I look forward to seeing comments by the Voice in white papers and second reading speeches.
the people that matter , in the end of it ,
All the gloom & doom that the No mob sprouted about The Voice seems to have been more and more of a whimper then a ‘fanatical screaming at the sun’ sort of moment They strongly indicated that the wording is legally sound, not disruptive & just the beginning I can live with that
Nicole Hegarty, tell the reader you are pro Voice to Parliament be transparent, and can we have a balanced article next time as there are lawyers who are against this evil plebiscite.
Just another grift for white 'proud indigenous' people to milk the taxpayer for while real indigenous people will continue to suffer. I'm still voting NO. This is because unlike the yes movement, I am not racist.
Richard_0866 Narrow the scope and give the voice actual advisory power! Enshrine that the body should be elected
This should be say also. 'This is another political comment by the taxpayer funded ABC yes vote team ' Have not seen your stupid climate change alarmists for a while. Yes vote for important than your BS climate crisis?
Profession that’s going to make the most money from the Voice recommends you vote Yes.
The ABC management has to publicly state its backing the Voice. 9 out of 10 stories are yes propaganda claiming fact checking in some cases by something called 'checkmate'A radical left wing state funded junket .
People are concerned that challenges may be taken to the High Court. First, the answer was that it would be impossible. Now, the answer is that it's possible, but won't clog up the courts. But Bret Walker still thinks the concerns are 'too silly for words'.
More than likely the same type that had they been around the time of the stolen generations would have said it OK to do! Why because it fashionable at that time and now it fashionable to go this way without thinking about the long-term impact. i now know better, than say Yes.
Is there anyone out there that still believe that amending our constitution to grant powers to people based on race and constitutionally divide us will bring us all together? I cannot think of anything more divisive in Australia on over 50 years than the voice.
'Legal experts' 😆
Show me the money…
Don't bother VoteNOAustralia
Grifters
lol they see $$$ signs
Legal experts have expressed concerns over the voice too but you have no reported on that? VoteNo I honestly thought the Abc was meant to be impartial in this racist voice but clearly the ABC is racist
Propaganda by the ABC who only seek out “opinion” from one political point
These legal experts are arrogant and out of touch. What we want to know is why do we have to change the constitution and enshrine privilege in it. The litigation risks are there as Craven said, and on what issues is unclear to all of them. Vote No!
It's a No from me
Does the ABC realise that lawyers, especially Constitutional lawyers are wrong half of the time? Just look at the decisions.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It was recently discussed the Mark Leibler has played a big role in the Voice. Given the secrecy around what is actually in the Voice, should Australians be concerned given Mr Leibler’s purported history of anti-White and pro-Jewish activism?
Yeah because it will be a lawyers picnic….that’s why.
I still can’t believe the ABC is trying to cover up child abuse in Alice Speings. What sort of disgusting suck organisation are you. Pure evil. You should be thrown before the courts ABC.
No they don’t. They’re not “legal experts “. Not in any context.
Coz the last thing that ‘legal experts’ want is more litigation ? 🙄
Same ones who greenlit bashing protestors and locking down entire countries? Yeah fark off.
a fantastic piece NicoleTHegarty! 🗞️ 👏
The voice is explicitly racist and a violation of our fundamental right to equality of citizenship. The voice is an insult to those who have chosen to migrate here enriching Australia's economy and culture. VoteNOAustralia and/or VoteNo
The ABC seems determined to make the Voice referendum also a referendum on the ABC. If the referendum result is No, does the ABC lose its social licence?
snipSome of the nation's pre-eminent constitutional law expertssnip Some? Uhm, ok. But I'm still voting No.
When is elonmusk adding a Government sponsored media label to this account?
This picture ^alone makes me want to vote no.
I'm sure there's a vaxx for that condition...🤡💉
Uhm could she have been biased at all? Asking for a friend.
VoteNOAustralia
If I put a bandaid on my head...
It's always comforting when the lawyers agree in unison.
