And then it will be up to government, Parliament, to listen to that advice. So, it's not a funding body, it's not a body which is able to have veto over any legislation. The words that are there in the constitutional change make it clear the primacy of the Parliament remains. WRIGHT: What sort of power would that advisory board have? This is what I think people don't understand. But here at Garma you see the success that happens with communities like the community of Gulkula where you have listened to Indigenous Australians, where we see educational opportunities, we see Indigenous rangers, we see employment progress, we see better health outcomes as a result of listening to Indigenous Australians. And Australians do need to focus on exactly what the question is, we will be advancing that, because we know we can't continue to just do more of the same because we will get the same outcomes, an eight year life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, a young Indigenous woman more likely to have difficulties in childbirth than a non-Indigenous woman, a young Indigenous male more likely to go to jail than to go to university. That is what it's about, that is what Australians will vote for or against in the last quarter of this year. By listening to Indigenous Australians, we will get better results. It is to recognise Indigenous Australians in our Constitution through a Voice. PRIME MINISTER: Well, the No campaign is all about sowing confusion. How much responsibility do you take for that confusion and what is your plan to fix it? But there remains so much confusion about exactly the Voice is. We know the Voice is an issue that is very dear to you. WRIGHT: Fair enough, I think that's wise. It is beautiful but I won't be going for a swim. Looks glorious where you are.ĪNTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you. Joining us now from Arnhem Land is the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese. He's criticised the Government for not providing more details on the Voice and treaty. MONIQUE WRIGHT, HOST: The Prime Minister invited Peter Dutton to attend the festival, which he declined. Anthony Albanese is in the Northern Territory attending the Garma Festival this weekend with the Yes campaign being a key focus. MATT DORAN, HOST: Well back here, and it's been an intense return to Parliament this week as the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader traded barbs over the Voice to Parliament.
