Cheers for the Conversation article. Even though it's clearly a "Vote Yes" PR article, it has good information in it.

The issues that I still have with it are that basically we could all vote Yes, have a voice put in the constitution, but then the government at any time can just completely change what the Voice actually entails and how it's used. With so much handling of it left to the government of the time, it's very hard to see how it's not just going to be essentially ignored/reduced every time the LNP get in power for example.

I guess a "Yes" vote is really a vote for "It's something at least, it's a start", which can definitely be a good thing.
