What does 'constitutionally enshrined' really mean? It is really a head of power for the federal government not a demand, otherwise we would have an 'Interstate Commission' (Sect 101 of the constitution). The true "voice" powers, role and financing will be defined by legislation & regulations not the few lines in the constitution. This does mean the later governments could remove or minimize the Voice by legislation or removal of funding - though likely to be politically difficult unless the Voice is proving to be very 'troublesome'.
I am a little cynical, though recognition is good, any such body, though it may start with noble aims and good intentions, is political, it will eventually be corrupted by political & personal agendas that have little to do with bettering Aboriginal & Islander conditions or society in general.
