Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:39): I understand this matter has been raised in the House today as well. I can confirm—and I think the Attorney-General has made this clear—that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice will be able to make representations on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This means matters specific to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and matters which affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples differently. We know what those issues are. I think it is unfortunate but not unexpected that we have a continuing campaign here which essentially seeks to misrepresent a modest request from Australia's First Peoples through the Uluru Statement from the Heart about a voice to parliament enshrined in the Constitution. We know what matters affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples differently. There are gaps in education, gaps in employment, gaps in opportunity, gaps in health and gaps in life expectancy. Senator Thorpe: Climate change? Senator GALLAGHER: These are the matters that affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Senator Thorpe, it is not an exclusive list, but I'm trying, in the time available to me, to make it clear. The Attorney-General and others have made clear that it is a modest request. Those opposite seek to misrepresent this at every single opportunity. We are getting a taste of what the next few months are going to be like. I call on people to exercise their privileged position in this place responsibly. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash, a first supplementary?
