Making Sense of the Voice (Professors Anne Twomey and Ken Hinchcliff)

Making Sense of the Voice

Join us for a one-hour session on the imminent Voice Referendum, featuring Professors Anne Twomey and Ken Hinchcliff.

In the first half of the session, Professor Twomey, one of Australia’s leading constitutional lawyers, will guide us through the history of the referendum and issues raised by its critics. She will address:

• The history and rationale of the Voice referendum

• The legitimacy of key concerns, including judicial review, the making of representations to the Executive Government, and the idea that the government is asking for a "blank cheque" without providing sufficient detail

• What happens after the referendum succeeds/fails
