Those looking for detail will be disappointed. These pamphlets don’t provide clarity either way. I don’t think it’s the fault of the aec, but rather how something like this is inserted into the constitution.

That seems to be the problem after reading these - there is no clarity by design of the government. They aren't telling us what the thing we're voting on actually is.

That's because Parliament will decide.

The change of the Constitution says it must be created and that it's not at the whim of a future government to abolish it.

The meat and potatoes of how many, who, when etc will go through as an act of Parliament so your local MP gets a say
