How do the black sovereign movement, who are a progressive no, participate in decision-making given you have only got the far-right blackfellas in the country saying yes and you have a growing black sovereign movement who are concerned about assimilating into the colonial Constitution? Is there an opportunity in terms of transparency and accountability to include the progressive no sovereign Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people in this country as part of your paid 'yes' people on the Referendum Engagement Group and the Referendum Working Group?
