70 Law Professors and Educators.

Originally posted by Scott th Ratbag: ↑

More than 70 constitutional and public law teachers have signed a letter saying the Voice to Parliament "is not constitutionally risky" in a bid to tackle "misunderstandings and misconceptions" among Australian voters.

The 71 teachers and professors say in the open letter that they are not advocating for a position on the Voice, but wish to provide voters with more information.
"We are public and constitutional law teachers from universities all over Australia with experience teaching law students about the constitution and referendums," the letter says.
"We write this letter in the spirit that we approach our teaching.
"Not as advocacy for a particular position, but to clarify some of the issues that are causing confusion about the proposed constitutional change, to help Australians sift through what they are reading and hearing, and to assist them to make an informed choice at the upcoming referendum."
The letter says that the No campaign has argued that the Voice would lead to "dysfunction and delays" in government but that would not necessarily be the case.
"Certainly, it is impossible to predict exactly what the High Court might say in the future — this is the case for all constitutional and legal provisions," the letter says.
"But we know that the vast majority of expert legal opinion agrees that this amendment is not constitutionally risky."

Impartial ???

Is it likely that educators in the law will be the growth sector when "Voice advice" continually ends up in the courts ?

We have already seen one recent attempt in the federal court regarding the aged pension age and life expectancy.
