RECOGNISE | Making Room for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanderpeoples in Australia’s Constitution

[Edited extract from public address]

There's no place for racial discrimination in Australia’s Constitution.

RECOGNISE is a people’s movement to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Australian Constitution and ensure there’s no place in it for racial discrimination.

Our goal is a more united nation. Wanting fairness and respect radiating outwards from the heart of our Constitution, ensuring racial discrimination has no place in it. 

This is a chance for Australia to acknowledge the first chapter of our national story, and to forge our future together. Our role has a very specific focus. It is to raise awareness of the need to end the exclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from the Australian Constitution and deal with racial discrimination in it.

A quarter of a million Australians from all walks of life have already declared their support to recognise the first Australians in our founding document and to fix the racial discrimination that still exists in it today.
