Yep, lots of committees have tried and failed, at least if it's in the constitution it can't be ignored or just dropped by subsequent governments.

Seems we aren't happy to give aboriginal people a voice that would be public and open to scrutiny, but don't seem too bothered that big business do the same thing, via their lobbyists, but all in secret behind closed doors.
Just to expand on the previous reply, indigenous people are not the only people living in third world conditions in this country, who will be the voice to Parliament for those people in our democracy?
