The reason why the Voice has to be in the Constitution
has been explained by the Prime Minister numerous times
including on this morning's "Insiders," program.

He can't be held responsible for some people's
lack of comprehension skills or their own interpretations
of what is being said or posted on social media by the
NO campaigners.

Yes, he explained that this is the only form of constitutional recognition that he will allow the people to vote on. Not that its the only way to get constitutional recognition but that this is the only way he will allow the people to consider. Not even close to good enough. And absolutely no reason to cave to this blackmail.

The Prime Minister actually explained WHY it was
necessary to have the Voice in the Constitution.

BTW:

The Voice is a request from our First Nations People -
not the Prime Minister. And it is up to the Australian
people to vote YES or NO. They will be the ones who
will decide - not the PM.

We must have watched a different interview. The one I watched had him saying:

1. Its the only form of constitutional recognition he plans to allow the people to vote on. My way or the highway. So you either agree to it being in the constitution or there's no recognition vote at all. This is democracy?

2. We should give it to the aboriginals because they want it!! Just because they want it. Wow!!

Foxy, I can't help but notice that you completely ignored my pointing out the illogicality of your claims. The body can't be simultaneously merely an advisory body AND one that provides self-determination.
