    No, it’s not broad. Please for the love of christ read: In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia:

    there shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice; 

    the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to the Parliament and the Executive Government of the Commonwealth on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples;

    the Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to matters relating to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, including its composition, functions, powers and procedures.

    Nothing anywhere that would have any say in land rights, it’s a completely separate issue.

      It certainly isn’t specific.

      Who will this person be, claiming to represent the interest of 200 distinct language groups? What laws will be made?

      It’s little wonder it failed. You and I can’t even agree and it seems like we’re ostensibly on the same side of the issue.
