As debate about the Voice continues, this pervasive myth about 'secret documents' continues to surface

With a referendum on the Voice to Parliament approaching in the second half of the year, there's one myth about the proposed body which refuses to die, despite repeated debunking.

Happy federal indictment day to all who celebrate! And we should all celebrate.
At the end of the day, I love you all, even when you're being ridiculous. So keep being weird, keep being silly, and maybe try to make the world a little bit better while you're at it.

Asked how he felt when he heard that the Liberal Party would campaign “no,” Noel Pearson told ABC RN:

"I couldn’t sleep last night. I was troubled by dreams and the spectre of darkness the Liberal party’s Judas betrayal of our country.

They’ve had 11 years of power to work on a proper proposal for recognition and the decision they’ve taken yesterday is a very poor outcome over 11 years of power.

I see leader of the Liberal party, Mr Dutton, as an undertaker preparing the grave to bury Uluru."

Britain plans to house asylum seekers in barge as Rishi Sunak cracks down on migrants crossing the Channel

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says the barge — the "Bibby Stockholm" — will save money and reduce pressure on hotels but the Refugee Council describes it as "completely inadequate".

Dutton's language, refering to '...rule by Canberra academics...' reveals what he (and his ilk) is really affraid of.
An educated Aboriginie.

Honestly, how could anyone vote no to this? I really feel that this will be the most successful referendum outcome we've ever had. It just makes sense. #VoteYes #TheVoice
Nice to see the nazis considering public health and masking up.

The proposed amendment to the constitution is clear and unambiguous, and worthy of our endorsement.:

In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of Australia:

1. There shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.
2.The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to Parliament and the Executive Government on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
3.The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to the composition, functions, powers and procedures of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice."
