“Our constitution is a document that establishes the basic institutions that we have,” she told Tom Elliott on 3AW Drive.

“The basic idea of (The Voice) is for consultation and representation on matters that affect indigenous peoples, and that’s really just the proposition that we need to decide, on whether we think that’s a good idea or not.”
