I preface my comments with a quote from the late David Jackson, who many would know as one of Australia's pre-eminent constitutional lawyers, who, in his submission to the relevant committee, said:

The inclusion of the proposed s 129 would mean that we become a nation where, whenever we or our ancestors first came to this country, we are not all equal.

How will the Voice interact with the Closing the Gap process?
