the Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to matters relating to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, including its composition, functions, powers and procedures.
This raises alarm bells for me, and as you mentioned already John, with good reason considering the overstep we have witnessed in the recent years. And I very much doubt that the intention / agenda has changed, but we the people are continuing to awaken đđ
The part of the new wording for the constitution that I am wondering about is where it says Parliament can pass laws related to âits composition, functions, powers and procedures.â
If itâs just an advisory body, I can understand laws being made about its composition, functions and procedures. But I donât understand what is meant by âpowersâ. Why does an advisory body need powers? What could those powers be?
Seems to me to open the door to future radical governments (which we get from time to time) passing laws that go beyond the notion of it being just an advisory body.

Spot on Sean. That is the piece that really caught my attention too.
