Saturday’s voice to parliament referendum failed, with the defeat clear shortly after polls closed.

yeah until the Liberals dismantle it. again.

No until it turns corrupt like what most of these bodies inevitably do. But I guess it's racist to ask if there will be a framework to oversee and manage corruption.

Yeah mate, the lnp is concerned about corruption. That's what leads them to tear down every proposal. It's corruption.

I mean, yeah - didn't you read the proposed legislation released back in March?
