My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Australians. Does the minister agree with the following statement from a member of the government's Voice Referendum Working Group:

The voice will be able to speak to all parts of the government, including the cabinet, ministers, public servants, and independent statutory offices and agencies—such as the Reserve Bank … the parliament won't be able to stop the voice making those representations. It can't shut the voice up.
