A former High Court Justice has said that the Voice will lead to a flood of lawsuits and that it is not the way to go. Is this true? If so, how can we make sure the Voice isn't as open to appeals as the Migration Act or other highly contested laws?
The proposed new section 129 has been carefully drafted to minimise the likelihood of litigation. The Voice would only make representations, which would not themselves create rights and interests of the kind litigated under the Migration Act or other legal proceedings.
