    And with how vague the voice constitutional change was, it would be able to be dismantled in every meaningful way another 11 times in the future. It would just have to exist, but it could have been comprised of a 19 year old white intern who supported anti-indigenous things.

        Says the person saying how frequently they’re disbanded 😂. You’re literally arguing against yourself.

          There is a clear political difference between abolishing a body that has been purely legislated versus one that Australians have directly voted in favour of establishing through a referendum.

            I don’t say it would be abolished, just that it could and likely would essentially be completely gutted many times over because like I said, the only thing that’s protected is the thing existing.

              You literally just quoted me with regards to this as part of your argument. Stop shifting the goalposts.

                Read my post again. I didn’t say it would be abolished, I said it would be essentially dismantled since it would be reduced to nothing.
