There's the claim that the Voice's approval will be required to pass any bill, or that even Parliament would need to consult the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice ahead of time before it could pass anything. In this episode I'll explain why that doesn't work either constitutionally or practically, and why the Voice won't even read or examine every single bill let alone wish to comment on or have an opinion on every bill. It's approval also is not a requirement to pass a bill, as the constitution clearly doesn't put that restriction on Parliament.
