This week the Institute of Public Affairs released One Voice: Racial Equality in the Australian Constitution, a new research essay exploring the potential legal, political, and social consequences of inserting the proposed Voice to Parliament in the Australian Constitution.

The research essay explains how the Voice has the potential to permanently divide Australians along racial lines, could radically reshape Australia’s democracy by operating like a third chamber of parliament, and is inconsistent with the fundamental preference among Australians for a race-blind constitution.
