The real issue here is that the handy little booklet that you put into the public domain, purportedly, as you said at the outset tonight, to help explain the Voice proposal, has no legal force and doesn't explain how the Voice would operate. I ask, to try and get some more clarity: could a person with standing commence legal proceedings to compel a government department to seek representations on an issue?
