Incorrect.
The Voice was a bipartisan project going back over 10 years and the present federal government's position from the outset was to offer no funding for either votes. Instead it has funded information campaigns.

That's your opinion.
You cannot provide recognition in the Constitution without a referendum.
That's not rocket science.
Moreover, you cannot ensure a consistent contribution from ATSI peoples without the Voice as successive Parliaments keep moving the goalposts.
That's not rocket science.

If that were the case then ATSI peoples would not be proposing the Voice.
Is there any logic to your points?

Correct.
It provides an opportunity for grass roots involvement in local problem solving.

Why don't you read the background papers to the Voice and learn about what it proposes to achieve.
This has been many times covered here and you keep coming up with lame excuses that neglect the fact of systemic disadvantage that needs redress.
