“Labor failed to release the wording of proposed changes to the constitution”
What RMIT ABC Fact Check found
Mr Joyce is ill-informed. In July 2022, Mr Albanese announced proposed wording for changes to the constitution in order to establish an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. Mr Albanese noted at the time that the words represented "draft provisions" and may not be the "final form of words". Since then, the only change publicly proposed has been to add one line.
