● What are the prerequisites for nomination?
● Will the Government clarify the definition of aboriginality to determine who can serve on the body?
● How will members be elected, chosen or appointed?
● How many people will make up the body?
● How much will it cost taxpayers annually?
● What are its functions and powers?
● Is it purely advisory, or will it have decision-making capabilities?
● Who will oversee the body and ensure it is accountable?
● If needed, can the body be dissolved and reconstituted in extraordinary circumstances?
● How will the Government ensure that the body includes those who still need to get a platform in Australian public life?
● How will it interact with the Closing the Gap process?
● Will the Government rule out using the Voice to negotiate any national treaty?
● Will the Government commit to Local and Regional Voices, as recommended in the report on the co-design process led by Tom Calma and Marcia Langton?
