THE recent KLIA incident has sent shockwaves across the nation, revealing yet another distressing chapter in the ongoing battle against corruption which has unfortunately been a tradition among certain Malaysians who wield power and authority. Henceforth, I laud the government's decision to allow only senior Immigration Department officers of Grade 41 and above to have the power to ban the entry of foreign travellers at airports and other entry points. Previously, the power to make such decisions was held by Grade 29 officers.

But is this the healthy and economical alternative or clearly a misinformed, misplaced recommendation, and potentially dangerous to health?

A First Nations Voice to Parliament protected by the Constitution is a key element of the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Respectful engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and accepting the invitation extended in the Uluru Statement from the Heart is consistent with implementing the call for a Voice in Parliament, will strengthen Australian systems of Government and governance and mark a practical step towards meaningful reconciliation. Embedding a Voice in the Constitution would recognise and rightfully acknowledge the special place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia's history.
