There are many perspectives on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament. On this page we will highlight some prominent views and contributions to the debate from both the 'Yes' and 'No' sides.

The Australian Electoral Commission has published a Yes/No case pamphlet which has been distributed to Australian households. This pamphlet has been written by politicians who voted for and against the proposed law.
