"If the proposed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament is going to work, it must be just as accountable as the politicians it is supposed to be advising.
But we have yet to be told how the representatives to the Voice will be selected, let alone how they can be sacked, as Janet Albrechtsen perceptively observed in The Australian on Monday.
How can we stop the Voice from being hijacked by a technocratic elite who re-write its mission and take it on a frolic of its own? It is not as if that hasn’t happened before. History tells us that every authority licensed by government is highly susceptible to provider capture."
