New South Wales could implement a voice to parliament similar to the South Australian model regardless of the outcome of the federal referendum in October.

The premier, Chris Minns, told Guardian Australia he was open to a state voice to parliament or one of the other models being implemented as part of truth-telling and treaty processes under way in other Australian jurisdictions.
