There is a groundswell of interest in and support for the upcoming Referendum for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, which is appropriate as it is a journey that all Australians are invited to take part in.
The Prime Minister has provided the words he would like voters in that referendum to add to the Australian Constitution:
- There shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice;
- The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to parliament and the executive government on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples;
- The parliament shall, subject to this constitution, have power to make laws with respect to the composition, functions, powers and procedures of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.
Volunteer
As we get closer to a referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, the Campaign from the Heart will need volunteers out on the streets of Australia.
Attend our public event Forum on a Referendum for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament presented by Port Phillip Citizens for Reconciliation with moderator Leila Gurruwiwi and speakers Thomas Mayor, Uncle Shane Charles and Ian Hamm.
