The Coalition has confirmed it will not stand in the way of the bill passing the parliament,despite the Liberals and Nationals having party positions officially opposing the Voice.

However,it will authorise a cohort of MPs or senators to vote against the bill in order to ensure that Hanson and her colleague Malcolm Roberts do not have control over the pamphlet writing process.

Hanson’s claim that the Voice will be a third chamber of the parliament – a view first articulated by former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull,who has since walked back the claim and resolved to support the Voice – has been exhaustively refuted by constitutional experts.

The Voice is intended to be an advisory body that can make representations on policy or laws to the parliament and executive government,which includes ministers. There is nothing in the proposal that supports Hanson’s view that it will lead to a separate Aboriginal state.

A large cohort of eminent jurists,lawyers and academics hasendorsed the proposed constitutional amendment to enshrine the Voice as legally sound.

However,a smaller contingent of constitutional conservatives have expressed concerns about the scope of the body and the ability of the High Court to transfer more power to the Voice if the provision is challenged in the courts.

UNSW constitutional law professor George Williams,who worked with the Yes case to provide legal advice on the wording of the amendment,said while a number of Hanson’s views were false,there was nothing to prevent them from being in the pamphlet.

“There’s no requirement for truth or accuracy. In fact,the pamphlet has been consistently characterised by hyperbole and misinformation in past referendums,” Williams said.

“It’s really an awesome power that can be vested on a very small number of politicians that goes to the whole community”.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese initially sought to scrap the requirement for the Yes/No pamphlet butbackflipped earlier this year after coming under pressure from the Coalition. ACT independent senator David Pocock was unsuccessful in his push for thepamphlet to be independently fact-checked before being distributed to voters – a protection he sought after speaking with key Indigenous figures in the Yes campaign.

NT CLP senator and leading No campaigner Jacinta Nampijinpa Price is expected to be among the Coalition block who vote against the bill in order to contribute to the pamphlet.

Hanson praised Price as someone she had “a lot of admiration and respect for” but said Price’s involvement in the pamphlet writing would not deter her from wanting to shape the content as well.

“She’s got the guts to stand up and say exactly what she’s saying and it’s no different what I’ve been saying for years. The difference is she is black and I’m white. I have to have a say in this,and I want to make sure we get it right,” Hanson said.
