My question as to the Minister for Indigenous Australians. In March the Prime Minister stated that the Voice is not about defence policy and it's not about foreign affairs policy. Yet a member of the Prime Minister's Referendum Working Group, Sally Scales, said the Voice should be consulted on AUKUS, Australia's most important defence and foreign policy since the Second World War. Will the Voice be consulted on the location of AUKUS submarine bases and nuclear waste facilities?
