The frenzied "debate" about the Voice is only serving to confuse everybody. In practical terms the Voice will be able to express its opinion on just about any public policy issue, because every one of them, one way or the other, impacts on indigenous Australians. So yes the Voice could offer its advice to the Reserve Bank. So what? It could offer advice to the Treasurer on the technical drafting of the latest Tax Laws Amendment Bill too. So what? In each case it wouldn't be a great use of time because absent a particular expertise in monetary policy or tax law, the Voice's views would not carry a lot of weight. Where they will carry weight, and should, is on matters directly or particularly relating to indigenous Australians and so it is natural that the Voice will concentrate its attention on issues where its views will be most influential. As to Australia Day - seriously? Of course the Voice will have a view on Australia Day and it would be very surprising if its view was not to move the date.

“It is a constant conversation that we as blackfellas have about justifying who we are, where we come from. And if it doesn't work out the way that we would like it to, what's the impact of that to the community?” – Kristie Watego, Institute for Urban Indigenous Health #abc730
