No
Should we have a statement that acknowledges the First Peoples of Australia?
No
Do you have any other comments on a statement about the First Peoples of Australia?
No - Its my understanding a statement inserted in the Constitution will not hold any weight or legal argument to make a positive connection with First People of Australia.

Yes
Should the Australian Parliament keep the power to make special laws for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples?

Yes
Should a new Indigenous group be set up under the Constitution to give advice and make sure Indigenous people have a voice in political decisions that affect them?
