I refer to my previous answers, but I also reject the assertion that all the constitutional provision would do is to provide for the establishment of a body called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. That is of course what subsection (i) of section 129 does. But subsection (ii) clearly sets out the types of activities that the Voice would undertake.
