Voice Referendum - Would it undermine equality in the Constitution?

This video explores the claim that the Constitution treats all Australians equally and that the proposed amendment to introduce an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament and the Executive Government would undermine that by introducing division and inequality in the Constitution. It explains how the Constitution does treat people differently (eg residents of less populous States who get, proportionately, greater representation in the federal Parliament) and that there is a significant difference between treating people exactly the same and substantive equality. It discusses how the High Court has addressed the 'equality of opportunity to participate in the exercise of political sovereignty' as addressed in McCloy v New South Wales.
