Aboriginal People in Australia (103) Practice Test

What is the Voice to Parliament concept?

A ceremonial title for Indigenous leaders.

A constitutionally established Indigenous advisory body to advise Parliament on policies affecting Indigenous peoples.

The Voice to Parliament is a proposed constitutional mechanism to create an Indigenous advisory body that can advise Parliament on policies and laws affecting Indigenous peoples. It would be enshrined in the Constitution, giving an enduring, formal channel for Indigenous perspectives to be considered in legislative decision-making. Members would be selected by Indigenous communities, providing legitimacy and direct connection to those communities, and the body would offer advice rather than veto power, shaping policy ideas and consultations rather than replacing elected representatives.

This is why the other options don’t fit: it isn’t a ceremonial title for Indigenous leaders, it isn’t a charity organization for Indigenous education, and it isn’t a phrase about language preservation.

A charity organization for Indigenous education.

A phrase describing Indigenous language preservation.
