VOICE REFERENDUM
146. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the Leader of the House representing
the Premier:
I
refer to the Premier's stated intention to campaign in favour of
changing the Constitution to establish an Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander Voice.
(1) Has the
Premier been briefed on which chapter of the Constitution will be amended to
include the Voice?
(2) If yes, which of the eight
chapters will be amended?
(3) So that
all Western Australians might be privy to the same level of detail about the
proposed constitutional amendment before making their decision, will the
Premier table the last briefing note he received about the Voice prior to
making his public declaration of support?
