My question as to the Minister for Indigenous Australians. The proposed Voice to parliament will have a constitutional function of making representations to the executive government on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Minister, the Reserve Bank of Australia is part of the executive government and interest rates affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as they do all Australians. Will the Reserve Bank need to consult with the Voice before making a decision on interest rates?
