My problem with the indigenous voice:

Who's voice is it?
You ask 5 people for an opinion on a subject and consensus is able to be reached but there will be opposing thoughts. Add additional numbers, and you will get wide and varied opinions. Given the number of indidgenous voices out there, how can one voice to parliament truly become representative of anything?
Will there be an indigenous vote as well?
Regarding welcome to country, this is something we are all being programmed to do. It means nothing to me, and causes me very little harm, so I don't see the point of worrying about whether or not its done. I did raise my eyebrows, when returning from the USA on jetstar just to hear a welcome to country from the pilot as it was the first time I came across it in that context.
Don't have an issue with it personally, just like I don't really care for the national anthem at a football game between Carlton and Melbourne. Seems a bit out of place, but whatever.
You know, when it all comes down to it, the pre match could be the spice girls singing, so long as I heard the lily of laguna shortly prior or after, then it really doesnt matter to me at all.
