Prominent constitutional lawyer, Professor Adrienne Stone, has also supported the proposal as consistent with Australia’s constitutional culture.

Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce earlier branded the proposal from the Indigenous constitutional convention at Uluru last week as an overreach that was “not going to happen”.

The Uluru declaration does not recommend a the creation of a “Black Parliament”, but calls for a “First Peoples Voice”
