Someone had to start this new conversation given the talk about an Indigenous voice in parliament. 

I want to state that I have no opposition to an indigenous voice in parliament up front, so people can understand that what I am about to state next, doesn't come from anywhere but a genuine confusion on what this whole shemozzle of an idea is about.

Parliamentary officials, are elected to represent the people and govern on their behalf.  I am genuinely confused, as to why they are now creating a position, which doubles up on their duty.  Indigenous people, have the right to vote, and have the ability to vote for their representatives if they wish to do so.

What exactly is this whole endeavour for, and whom does it benefit?  The answer to me is clear, the pigs at the trough get another position to ensure that no indigenous aspiring politican takes their seat.  Id rather see some indigenous people running for seats in the next election, than simply creating yet another virtue signalled position in government.

The politicians continue to take the mickey out of us and then ride the gravy train into retirement when people are struggling to put food on the table and power their houses in the current economic environment.

To answer your question.

I think its hard for minorities to get majority.
