I just need to confirm the answers that have just been given. The design principles merely set out the government's intention. The democratically elected parliament, as you refer to, does not have to follow them in any way whatsoever. But, also, can I confirm that you have just stated that there is no actual requirement for permanency and, on that basis, the parliament could dissolve and re-establish the Voice?
