Well, there don't seem to be many answers with regard to how this Voice is supposed to operate, how it's supposed to be determined or how individuals are supposed to be appointed. Given that those who are supposed to be appointed will then determine further outcomes for Indigenous Australians, looking a little bit further down the line, do you envision that members of the Voice, however they're appointed—and we don't know how they're going to come about—will be determining processes of treaty?
