Recognition and closing the gap are lost in the Voice debate

On current numbers, 3.7% (980,000 2021 Census) our Indigenous Australians have 15 of 151 or 9.9% members of parliament in Canberra alone.

In addition, we have:

The department
NIAA.gov.au, or the National Indigenous Australians Agency, is a federal government department with regional centres in the country. In 2021 it had 1286 staff, of which 300 identified as indigenous. It has 39 commercial offices and has a presence in 12 remote communities.

indigenous.gov.au
We also have indigenous.gov.au, which connects Aboriginal people Australia wide to at least 74 Indigenous communities.

Federal Ministry – Aboriginal Affairs
We have a full federal minister and staff, including advisors with full perks, to take care of our Indigenous people.

State Level ministers and infrastructure
We also have ministers and departments to take care of all issues relating to the needs of our Indigenous people at the state level.

These are layers of bureaucracy with government employed professionals, and intellectuals advising the governments at all levels on indigenous affairs.

To put simply, serving our Indigenous people we already have:

a. members of parliaments representing them;

b. ministers in the portfolio engaged to look after them and serve them; and

c. advisors advising the governments and the departments and agencies implementing the programs aimed at helping and serving them.

Unquestionably, the advice as 'input' is live and present at all the above three levels of government administration in all states and territories in Australia.
