The composition, structure and operations of the Voice are matters to be decided by a democratically elected parliament. I find it strange that you suggest that a future parliament might decide to use a local Rotary club, to use your example, or non-Indigenous people on a voice to parliament, but if that's what a future government that you might be a member of seeks to do, that's a matter for you.
