JAMES ALLAN: "Let’s be honest. No one has a clue what the financial repercussions of this will be."
--------------------

This Yunupingu case creates a lot of uncertainty. And not just about how much money will potentially have to be paid out.

It’s also not clear if our top judges will opt to do a bit more overturning of precedents down the road. You know – the way they overturned Al-Kateb last year to make dealing with illegal immigrants brutally difficult, however dangerous they might be.

A real delight to bump into my friend and former colleague, legendary Senator the Hon Ron Boswell.

Ron was on the Gold Coast @TheSGSoc Conference signing copies of his book “Not Pretty, but Pretty Effective”. Both statements are true!

A great Australian.

[Sky News Australia @SkyNewsAust]

Victorian Barrister Stuart Wood discusses with Sky News host Amanda Stoker the lessons for Australia to take from the 1967 referendum on Indigenous affairs and apply it to the Voice to Parliament.

[Keith Wolahan @keithwolahan]

Engaging in slurs debases our democracy. Members of the legal profession have raised legitimate concerns about the proposed Voice to the Executive.

[Close the Gap Research @closethegap_au]

We've launched our first paper analysing the proposed Voice to Parliament model and the detail and assumptions included in the Calma -Langton report, that most Australians will be unaware of.

Recognise this – the voice is a bad idea on so many levels https://t.co/51k2rQauCc

[Institute of Public Affairs @TheIPA]

Happy Australia Day!
Australia is a great country, and our way of life is the envy of the world. In Australia we are all equal and this is something we should celebrate today and every day. #auspol #australia

Excellent article by former Justice Ian Callinan. Examining the case for the voice – an argument against https://t.co/XrSFw0C0cm

[RuleofLawAustralia @RoLAustralia]

The #Voice: The community is being asked to endorse a new institution while having only a limited idea of what we are voting for.... The government says it will determine detailed plans for the Voice after the referendum. That will give politicians more say than voters #auspol

[Keith Wolahan @keithwolahan]

The Parliamentary Committee on the National Anti-Corruption Legislation has a crucial role to play in getting the detail right. A sample of the committee’s hearings on the issue of private and public hearings, with video here: https://t.co/5XuT1OzC7n

[Canberra Insider @CanberraInsider]

October 5, 1903: Governor-General Lord Tennyson signed commissions appointing Sir Samuel Griffith, Sir Edmund Barton and Richard O’Connor as the first Justices of the High Court of Australia. Griffith served as the first Chief Justice until 1919.

[The Spectator Australia @SpectatorOz]

The Prime Minister is also wrong in assuming that obscuring the details of the ‘Voice’ proposal is the best pathway to its adoption. He should be honest with the Australian people about what they are approving or dismissing.
