You've stated that it includes all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who were in Australia at the time of European settlement. I then asked:

If a new Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander group emerge and identify as first people who were not previously identified, would they then be recognised in the Constitution?

Could I at least ask: what paragraphs in the explanatory memorandum actually answer that question?
