#ABCNews #ABCNewsAustralia
The government’s top lawyer insists the proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament would "enhance" Australia's system of government, arguing he does not believe it would "pose any threat" to the nation's parliamentary democracy. Subscribe: http://ab.co/1svxLVE Read more here: https://ab.co/3oz0e61
Solicitor-general Stephen Donaghue KC has also dismissed suggestions the creation of the advisory body, enshrined in the constitution, would lead to a deluge of legal challenges.
Dr Donaghue's legal opinion was released as part of federal parliament's inquiry into the proposed wording of the referendum question and proposed constitutional amendment.
It is dated April 19, 2023, almost one month after the prime minister revealed the government’s final position on the Voice referendum proposal.
The federal opposition has been demanding the solicitor-general’s advice to cabinet, provided during the drafting process, be published.
