    It’s not another toothless advisory panel.

    It would’ve been a constitutionally supported advisory, with demonstrated will of the Australian people. That wouldn’t be so easily ignored.

      It literally would be another toothless advisory panel because it was not going to have any power. Being constitutionally supported just means it has to exist in some unspecified form. There was no “demonstrated will of the Australian people” in it.

      You know what does have the demonstrated will of the Australian people? That the proposed voice was a bad idea. That shouldn’t be ignored.
