      No, it was to give the government of the day the power to create that body however they saw fit.

      anytime the government seeks to expand it’s powers you need to ask yourself “Do I want the other guys to exercise this power?”

      Labor already listens to our elders, the voice only needed to force future conservative governments to do the same and it failed miserably.

        Damn wouldn’t want any “governments of the day” to receive advice on issues that affect communities that don’t get a say in what happens to them.

        Why do so many of you act like this was some kind of plot to supercede power and abuse it? It was an advisory council.

          It was an advisory council.

          It was going to be stacked with the illuminate

          Edit: On second thought I really need to be sure people get it. Its sarcasm.
