The Liberal senator said unlike the state's contentious Aboriginal cultural heritage legislation — which could be, and has been, repealed — a change to the constitution was permanent.

"You can't simply roll back a bad amendment such as the Voice to Parliament," she said.

The critical part, in my opinion.

For me this is actually a good thing - when Labor inevitably loses the next election, the Liberals can't immediately remove any progress they made.
