The Australian’s Legal Affairs Contributor Chris Merritt says the Voice to Parliament is an issue of “quality of citizenship” as a vote for the Voice would mean Australians would “cease to be equal”.

“The fundamental issue here … it’s a quality of citizenship, now if we all are equal, we should all have the same ability to affect public policy debates,” Mr Merritt said.

“Whatever happens with the Voice … once the Voice says something … it will play out in public policy debates in the media, of course it will influence the way we govern … we would cease to be equal, simple as that.”
