• While there are many things the Voice cannot do, there is one thing it can do.

The past as prologue to the present

• National Indigenous representative bodies have been on and off the agenda for 50 years.
• Australia has had three formalised national Indigenous representative bodies between 1973 and 2005.
• By 1967, the Commonwealth could not be seen to countenance the formulation of law and policy without Indigenous input.
• Malcolm Fraser replaced this with the National Aboriginal Conference (1977–1985) and Bob Hawke legislated the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (1989–2005).

• Much debate about the Voice has focused on either party politics, or the desirability of the Voice in improving tangible outcomes.
• He argued the Voice would not “produce anything other than regular stand-offs between what the Voice is asking for and what the government of the day is willing to do”.
• Not of the Voice.

A core ‘no’ argument is a reason to vote ‘yes’

• In a classic conservative move, the absence of detail about the internal structure of the Voice is taken to be a reason to be cautious and vote “no”.
• But that detail is not important to the principle of a national representative Indigenous body.

An enduring idea

• There are a thousand things it cannot do, and one significant thing that it promises to be.
• As an embedded but flexible institution, it would channel an evolving national Indigenous politics, as a representative conduit of many voices speaking up to the behemoth that is the Commonwealth of Australia.
