Constitutional lawyer Greg Craven supports the proposed Indigenous Voice to parliament; however, in comments made earlier in 2023 he was highly critical of the initial draft of the proposed model for the constitutional amendment, describing it as "fatally flawed". Craven is outraged that his words have been quoted in the ‘No’ campaign’s essay for the referendum pamplet, stating that his request to not be included in it had been ignored. Craven intends to make a formal complaint to the Australian Electoral Commission, although the AEC says it is legally required to publish both the Yes and No essays without any changes.
