[Edited extract from public address]
More than 50 years ago, Australians from all walks of life came together and voted ‘yes’ in a historic referendum to change the Constitution to improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Now is the time for our generation to come together and vote ‘yes’ in a referendum on a Voice to Parliament because we know it is a fair and practical change that will be a unifying moment in our nation’s history.
A Voice to Parliament is a body enshrined in the Constitution would enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to provide advice to the Parliament on policies and projects that impact their lives. A Voice to Parliament gives the Australian Government the opportunity to make policies with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, rather than for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
