I have worked in public service and the real money is wasted on politicians and public servants' perks and benefits and endless programs that you never hear about in the news because it's below the radar that they start and abandone.
Those representatives on the advisory group are not government employees, but representatives chosen from all walks from marginalised communities that will meet and provide recommendations, they will not get 15% super and retire at 55. The costs are for administering a panel are very minimal.
And it is good the government will set this up, instead of outsourcing to PWC or Deloitte. And I'm further assured that due to the fact that the Voice is at the national level, any recommendations will be made public, transparent and scrutinised by opposition parties, instead of the current default No where state and local governments enact policies with no transparency or public scrutiny, ending up in giving endless handouts tweaking outcomes.
