Constitutional change isn’t on the cards, not in the near future. We’re not doing another referendum. Dutton fucked up when he said he would support one on just constitutional recognition alone because the conservatives do not support it. Sure, the government can legislate a voice but there’s always a chance that it will be dismantled like every other advisory group - that’s why it needed to be enshrined in the constitution. I think there’s more that can be achieved for voice and treaty now at the state level. That might even be more effective because states are responsible for health, education, child protection and justice, which are all areas that can be aligned to the close the gap outcomes. I would support a federal treaty process, hands down, but I’m sceptical that the majority of Australia will.
