Quoted in Saturday’s edition of the Weekend Australian, Mark’s submission to the Joint Select Committee on Constitutional Recognition described the proposal for an Indigenous advisory Voice to Parliament as “a far more modest, reasonable and achievable option than any other that has emerged over the last decade.”
The article goes on to report that Mark’s submission takes issue with various aspects of the government’s rationale for rejecting the Voice to Parliament proposal.
“Addressing Mr Turnbull’s claim that the Voice would inevitably be seen as a third chamber of parliament, Mr Leibler said this was 'misconceived' and it was 'imperative that this myth be dispelled once and for all' to build support for a successful referendum.”
