Why is the indigenous voice to Parliament so controversial?

I thought a group dedicated to ensuring the matters affecting any group of peoples are represented in Parliament would be a good thing. And if this is not "good enough", how will it have a worse outcome than voting no.

Partisanship aside, referendums are always close. The republic referendum was the same.

Trouble with this one is, theres a lot of confusion about what's proposed. Confused people vote no.
