As I have said already, the Voice will not be required to make a representation on every law, policy and program. The Attorney-General made clear that 'matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people' means matters specific to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people or matters which affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people differently. Just look at the bottom score of every rung of every social ladder in this country, and you might figure that out.
