Are you being deliberately ignorant? The proposed changes to the Constitution were announced yesterday and consist of adding three sentences:

1.
There shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

2.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to Parliament and the Executive Government on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

3.
The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to the composition, functions, powers and procedures of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

Why such a change is so exciting the right-wingers here is, frankly, beyond me. Well, not really, since we know the right is all about culture wars and punching down these days.
