Australia goes to the polls on October 14 in a referendum on whether to enshrine an Indigenous advisory body, known as the Voice to Parliament, into the country's constitution. In this episode, a political theorist from the Torres Strait Islands, an archipelago between Australia and Papua New Guinea, explains the background to the Voice and the arguments for and against it. Plus, we hear a view from Canada on how the Voice proposal compares with Indigenous systems of representation elsewhere in the world. Featuring Sana Nakata, principal research fellow at James Cook University in Australia. And Kiera Ladner, professor of Indigenous politics and Canadian politics at the University of Manitoba in Canada.

This our ancestors did, according to the reckoning of our culture, from the Creation, according to the common law from ‘time immemorial', and according to science more than 60,000 years ago.This sovereignty is spiritual notion: the ancestral tie between the land, or ‘mother nature', and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who were born therefrom, remain attached thereto, and must one day return thither to be united with our ancestors. This link is the basis of the ownership of the soil, or better, of sovereignty. It has never been ceded or extinguished, and co-exists with the sovereignty of the Crown.How could it be otherwise? That peoples possessed a land for sixty millennia and this sacred link disappears from world history in merely the last two hundred years?With substantive constitutional change and structural reform, we believe this ancient sovereignty can shine through as a fuller expression of Australia's nationhood.Proportionally, we are the most incarcerated people on the planet. We are not an innately criminal people. Our children are aliened from their families at unprecedented rates. This cannot be because we have no love for them. And our youth languish in detention in obscene numbers. They should be our hope for the future.These dimensions of our crisis tell plainly the structural nature of our problem. This is the torment of our powerlessness.We seek constitutional reforms to empower our people and take a rightful place in our own country. When we have power over our destiny our children will flourish. They will walk in two worlds and their culture will be a gift to their country.We call for the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution.Makarrata is the culmination of our agenda: the coming together after a struggle. It captures our aspirations for a fair and truthful relationship with the people of Australia and a better future for our children based on justice and self-determination.We seek a Makarrata Commission to supervise a process of agreement-making between governments and First Nations and truth-telling about our history.In 1967 we were counted, in 2017 we seek to be heard. We leave base camp and start our trek across this vast country. We invite you to walk with us in a movement of the Australian people for a better future.Proposed addition to the Constitution: In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia: (i) there shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice; (ii) the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to the Parliament and the Executive Government of the Commonwealth on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; (iii) the Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to matters relating to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, including its composition, functions, powers and procedures.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Transcript of Earth Matters #1417 Uncle Bunja Smith " A vote for Yes is a vote for hope and opportunity". 43 Climate Movement groups agree. Rebecca: Welcome to Earth Matters, environmental justice stories from Australia &and around the world. This story was produced on the land of the Walbunja people of the Yuin nation supported by radio 3CR on Wurundjeri Country, in Melbourne, and broadcast across this continent via the Community Radio Network. Hello, I'm the show host Bec Horridge. I pay my respects to the elders, past, present, and emerging. Uncle Bunja: I think: “A vote for Yes is a vote for hope and opportunity, whereas a vote for NO just gives me more of the same, so you wanna be in the tent or you wanna be outside the tent throwing rocks throwing rocks at it? The choice is yours.” Id rather be in the tent and change the system from the inside” Rebecca: That's today's guest Walbunja Elder with Uncle Bunja Smith. He wants to see a permanent voice to parliament so we might be able to close the gap. Rebecca: Here we are in Yuin country with Uncle Bunja Smith. Jamaka bumbalaga! Uncle Bunja: Jamaka bumbalaga! Rebecca Rebecca: And we're looking over Bhundoo, which is The Clyde River, it's actually known as one of the least polluted waterways of any major river in Australia. Welcome to Earth Matters, Uncle Bunja Smith. Uncle Bunja: Thank you. Thank you so much, Rebecca. And yes, the Bhundoo, while it is recognised as one of the least polluted rivers, I noticed it change, the cycle of life was affected in the bushfires. The bushfires actually cleared a lot of land at the top of the river and then following the bushfires, we had heavy rain and all that soil had to go somewhere. So, it washed down the river. It affected the oysters; it affected the fish. I hadn't seen any porpoises or dolphins in the Bundhoo for quite a while since the bushfires and it was only approximately two weeks ago that I saw dolphins swimming at Caseys Beach. So, I can say from that that life is returning but it was heavily affected by the bushfires and the following rains. Rebecca: Uncle Bunja Smith has a lifetime of experience working with Aboriginal people and the whole community and he's been speaking around Yuin country, the South Coast area, asking people to become informed, at least about what the Voice is. Let's dive in, Uncle, and could you just tell me a bit about the Voice? Uncle Bunja: The history is that since the Gough Whitlam government, we have had a voice to parliament in the form of an advisory body in one way, shape or form and the issue with that is that every time we had a change of government, we have a change of advisory. It started with the NACC, the National Aboriginal Consultative Committee, under Gough Whitlam. Then when Malcolm Fraser took over, he changed it and it became the NAC, the National Aboriginal Congress. Then the NAC, under the Hawke government, was abolished and a couple of years later, Hawke established ATSIC. So, it appears that every time we get a change of government, as I said, we get a change of advisory and Aboriginal people are getting tired of this because it's not working. Probably because one reason is that they throw the baby out with the bathwater. I think advisories are good and necessary but when you continually change it for your own benefit, not the people's benefit, then it's derogatory, it doesn't work for us. Now, what's happened is in and around 2016, 2017, there was a movement from the people around the Redfern Statement and there was also movement from government, wondering or questioning how can we get Aboriginal people into the constitution? And if you remember, John Howard wanted to put us in the preamble. So, going way back to then, there has been discussions around putting Aboriginal people in the constitution and what does it look like? How will we do it? And a group of 250 Aboriginal leaders at the time were gathered, paid for by the government to go to Uluru and have a constitutional convention. That's what they were there for. They were there to discuss how to get Aboriginal people into the constitution. Now, whenever you get a large crowd of anybody together, it's very hard to get consensus because everyone is going to be a different opinion. Some will like blue, some will like green, some will like yellow and that's what makes us rich is that we have all these different opinions, ideas and it's how to work together. So after gathering for quite a few days and discussing quite a lot of things, including treaty, they came up with a one page document called the Uluru Statement and that's where it was born from. From a constitutional convention at Uluru in 2017 and it was given, presented as a gift for all of Australia. It suggested three things. It called for truth telling. It called for Makarrata, and it also called for a voice to parliament enshrined in the constitution. So, I wasn't amongst them, and a lot of people weren't. There were only 250 representatives of Aboriginal people from all around Australia. So that's a reasonable representation of Aboriginal people and this is what they came up with was the Uluru Statement. Now, just because I didn't write a Sally Morgan book doesn't mean that I don't love it, doesn't mean that I don't love the writing. I had nothing to do with the Uluru Statement but I've adopted it. I love it. It's a love letter from Aboriginal people to the broader Australian community. It is saying we want to work with you to make everything better for everyone and, in particular, Aboriginal people. We want the truth to be told. So that is the history and the genesis of where we have come to and now remember that was 2017 and the government at the time was Malcolm Turnbull. His government funded that trip to Uluru and then when they came back with the Uluru Statement, he said, “Thank you very much” and he shelved it. He didn't want to do anything with it. It was too much for him. He said, “The people will never vote yes for a referendum” and then Malcolm Turnbull handed over – well, he got taken over. He got taken over by Scott Morrison and again Scott Morrison didn't want anything to do with the Uluru Statement. So we had an election not so long ago and one of the platforms that the Labor government stood on was that they would act on the Uluru Statement. Now, there's three parts to it and when you look at it, the most sensible part for me is a voice because with a voice, we can start the truth telling and we can navigate the complex road to treaty. But you must start with communication. You must start with a voice. So Anthony Albanese said that he would act on it and he has done that. He has now called a referendum of the people of Australia to ask should a voice to parliament be instilled in the constitution? Now, if you have a look at the ballot paper, that is proposed ballot paper, that's all it's asking people. “Yes or no, do you want a voice to parliament?” Have a look at it, it's on the Voice website, OK. Rebecca: OK. Uncle Bunja: And that's the question that you're being asked to vote yes or no on. But also on the website, you will see how the constitution will be changed. Now, all it is doing is instilling a voice, a voice to parliament. It's not putting me in the constitution, it's putting a voice in the constitution. So it's a very interesting thing to look at and I encourage people to do that, to have a good look at what's being proposed and fact check everything for themselves. Dad always told me, he said, “Son,” he said, “Believe nothing of what you hear and half of what you see.” And that's what people have got to do. They've got to do a little bit of research to get to the truth of this matter. Sadly, there's a lot of mistruths and ugliness happening around encouraging people that this is a bad thing. No, I don't believe it's a bad thing. Remember that when you look at it, it is not Aboriginal people being put in the constitution, it's an Aboriginal voice that will be put in the constitution and I think that's a good thing because as a start, you must have a dialogue. You must have an avenue of communication. That's a voice. So, it's a great place to start. I don't think it's perfect but I think it's the step, the right step in the right direction. Now, it gets a little bit more complex, Rebecca. The Voice, while permanent in the constitution, the make-up, the model can always be changed by successive governments because they will have the power of what the Voice looks like. But they must have a voice. So, it's caused a lot of consternation and a lot of anger, a lot of resentment, a lot of confusion, but the sadness for me is that it's also thrown a spotlight on racism in Australia. On Facebook recently there was a post that said, “First comes the Voice, then comes the invoice.” It wasn't so much that comment that worried me, it was the comments from the people underneath on Facebook. One of them from a lady said, “We should charge them for using our” – actually quote, “We should invoice them for using our infrastructure.” Then someone replied to her, “Yes, maybe they will go back and live in bark huts.” This is out there and this is truth. So that's what saddens me is that it has got down to that level of ugliness. It's a Voice to parliament that I believe will be a communication road and the government of the day does not have to take the Voice's advice. It does not have a veto power. So, some people are saying – some Aboriginal people are saying, “Well, it's a white elephant. If they don't have to take the advice, what's the good of it?” Well, I think something is better than nothing. I think a vote for yes is a vote for hope and opportunity, whereas a vote for no just gives me more of the same. So, do you want to be in the tent or you want to be outside the tent, throwing rocks at it? The choice is yours. I'd rather be in the tent and change the system from the inside. Rebecca: Uncle Bunja Smith, I'm so grateful that you've come to talk to me and everybody here at Earth Matters. There's a lot more I could learn and I'm hoping so much to have you and your friends on the show later in the year. Walawaani. Uncle Bunja: Walawaani, Rebecca and, look, thank you so much and yes, I've actually had a long history with 3CR. Going back to the 80s, I was a student of Koori College in Northcote, we had the radio show on 3CR way back then. Rebecca: Wow. Uncle Bunja: The Aboriginal program and I was a part of that. So 3CR has a special place in my heart and I say my respects to the elders and tribes people of the local area, and I thank you for having me on the show. Go well. In my language, Walawaani means safe journey. So Walawaani all my brothers and sisters out there. Take care and care for Mother Earth. Rebecca:The Australian climate movement has thrown its support behind writing Yes to the voice. 43 climate organisations and groups representing a movement of over two million Australians, who are into a healthy climate and thriving envirionment and are rooted in the values of justice and fairness signed a public letter supporting YES to the Voice. Here is the statement they endorsed. These groups include World Wildlife Fund, Oxfam, Getup, Greenpeace, Climate Council Australian Parents for Climate Action, the Australia Institute, Tipping Point and so many other groups are supporting the Yes vote on Oct 14. Id like to read you the statement they recently put out. The Australian Climate Movement Supports Writing Yes to the Voice Australia is home to the oldest continuous culture on Earth. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been caring for Country for millennia. First Nations people are the first scientists and leaders in nature restoration, land management and climate solutions. We stand together as leaders representing a movement of over two million Australians whose commitment to a healthy climate and thriving environment is rooted in the shared values of justice, equality, and fairness. Australians are being asked to vote in a referendum to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Constitution and establish an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. We wholeheartedly support writing YES in this referendum. By writing YES, we support a pathway for meaningful, transformative change. This referendum calls upon us to reflect upon our colonial history and envision a future where First Nations justice, truth-telling and Treaty help us move towards a brighter future, together. We know what it takes to demand ambitious change and challenge entrenched systems. We lead movements that bravely challenge the status quo. The Australian climate movement has stood up to vested interest groups attempting to impede meaningful action on climate change in this country. These same political culture wars are now attempting to fuel racism and divide us. Our support for writing YES is based on the fundamental principle that laws and policies are more effective when those who are affected by them have a voice. We firmly believe in demanding substantive change rather than mere symbolism, and we view this referendum as a step in the right direction. History has shown us that previous representative bodies for First Nations peoples have been dismantled by the government of the day at will. By writing YES in the referendum, Australians everywhere can establish a permanent representative body that boldly advocates for the needs and aspirations of First Nations people. Recognising and respecting the knowledge, cultures, stories, and languages of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples will help us move forward from our past and progress together towards a brighter future. First Nations communities are at the front line of climate impacts in this country. There is no climate justice without First Nations justice. By ensuring that First Nations communities are represented in shaping national policies, we can achieve better health, environment, and climate outcomes. We encourage all Australians to listen with an open heart and mind through this historic moment. Together we share a vision for the future as a nation that values justice, equity and fairness for all people. Together, let us write YES. And that is the statement endorsed by 43 climate groups, some of the biggest groups and some of the most effective groups.

It's understood the design of the Voice itself will follow and will be elected based on local communities wishes. It will be an independent and representative body for First Nations peoples and communities.It would advise the Australian Parliament and the Government.It would give First Nations peoples a say on matters that affect them.In this yarn, Tom Mayo shares the opportunity with a 'YES' vote, to have a national and consolidated policy approach led by First Nations people and not governments.He delves deep into the origins of First Nations statements and petitions in 'so called Australia' dating back to William Cooper's statement to the king, in 1938. He shares the journey that led to the development of the Uluru Statement of the heart in 2017, which calls for the 'establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution and a Makarrata Commission to supervise a process of Treaty/agreement-making and truth-telling about our history.' Lastly, he discusses the 8 design principles, or key next steps, following a 'YES' vote. To find out more about these key next phases, visit here!

Australia is in the middle of a national conversation that could transform our relationship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. But how much do you know about the long story that sits behind the Voice to Parliament referendum? Thomas Mayo is a Kaurareg Aboriginal and Kalkalgal, Erubamle Torres Strait Islander man, born on Larrakia country in Darwin. He shares with us his journey into union activism and Indigenous struggle.

ULURU STATEMENT FROM THE HEART We, gathered at the 2017 National Constitutional Convention, coming from all points of the southern sky, make this statement from the heart: Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tribes were the first sovereign Nations of the Australian continent and its adjacent islands, and possessed it under our own laws and customs. This our ancestors did, according to the reckoning of our culture, from the Creation, according to the common law from ‘time immemorial', and according to science more than 60,000 years ago. This sovereignty is a spiritual notion: the ancestral tie between the land, or ‘mother nature', and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who were born therefrom, remain attached thereto, and must one day return thither to be united with our ancestors. This link is the basis of the ownership of the soil, or better, of sovereignty. It has never been ceded or extinguished, and co-exists with the sovereignty of the Crown. How could it be otherwise? That peoples possessed a land for sixty millennia and this sacred link disappears from world history in merely the last two hundred years? With substantive constitutional change and structural reform, we believe this ancient sovereignty can shine through as a fuller expression of Australia's nationhood. Proportionally, we are the most incarcerated people on the planet. We are not an innately criminal people. Our children are aliened from their families at unprecedented rates. This cannot be because we have no love for them. And our youth languish in detention in obscene numbers. They should be our hope for the future. These dimensions of our crisis tell plainly the structural nature of our problem. This is the torment of our powerlessness. We seek constitutional reforms to empower our people and take a rightful place in our own country. When we have power over our destiny our children will flourish. They will walk in two worlds and their culture will be a gift to their country. We call for the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution. Makarrata is the culmination of our agenda: the coming together after a struggle. It captures our aspirations for a fair and truthful relationship with the people of Australia and a better future for our children based on justice and self-determination. We seek a Makarrata Commission to supervise a process of agreement-making between governments and First Nations and truth-telling about our history. In 1967 we were counted, in 2017 we seek to be heard. We leave base camp and start our trek across this vast country. We invite you to walk with us in a movement of the Australian people for a better future.

As Australia prepares to vote in a referendum on a constitutionally enshrined First Nations Voice to Parliament, John sits down with one of Australia's foremost experts on constitutional law for a detailed analysis of what the Voice is likely to be, what it means for the Australian Constitution and system of representational government and what the implications of changing the Constitution to accomodate the Voice could be.

“I am first and foremost a First Nations woman. I am that before I am a lawyer”. In this wide-ranging conversation with Teela Reid, Sydney Law School's first First Nations Lawyer in Residence, she discusses her remarkable career as lawyer, activist and storyteller – the life-changing decision to move from teaching to law, her determination to make life better for the next generation of First Nations kids, her involvement in the Regional Dialogues which led to the Uluru Statement From the Heart and her tireless advocacy for the First Nations Voice to Parliament, which she sees as the beginning of a crucial reckoning between Black and white Australia. She also talks about the need for non-Indigenous Australians to show up and to do the work. A fascinating insight into one of the thought leaders of her generation, who is determined to use her role at the Law School to “make sure we continue to create space for other First Nations students and lawyers”.

History shows us changing the constitution can be an unpredictable process, but Anthony Albanese has made it clear that's one of his main aims during his first term as leader. He's pushing ahead with a referendum on a First Nations Voice to Parliament, which would enshrine in the constitution a body to advise on matters relating to Australia's first peoples, and already there's resistance. Today, ABC Radio National Breakfast host Patricia Karvelas on what could be a difficult path ahead. Featured: Patricia Karvelas, host, ABC Radio National Breakfast

Respected journalist Nick Bryant hosts this conversation with Sally Sitou, Member for Reid; Kylea Tink, Member for North Sydney; Constitutional reform expert; Anne Twomey; and political theorist Tim Soutphommasane. On being elected, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese promised to create a government that doesn't “seek to divide” and one that will “change the way” politics operates in Australia; to lead with integrity.

The PR Guy appeared on Twitter in March 2020 and has been sycophantic in its defence of all of Dan Andrews' pandemic policies and lockdowns.

Noongar author, Claire G Coleman, talks about creating change in Australia for Aboriginal people. She begins on an optimistic note with the ousting of the Liberals from federal government, and the rejection of policies and campaigning based on hate. On a hopeful note, the new PM has committed to a First Nations Voice to Parliament, to be enshrined in the constitution. While some think a treaty should come before this, Claire believes that truth telling should come before both treaty and a voice to Parliament. She talks about the confusing range of Aboriginal days, that may distract from the most important task of truth telling. CORRECTION: The Victorian electorate of Batman was renamed to Cooper in 2019, after the 20th century Aboriginal leader and activist, William Cooper.
The Tamil family at the centre of a years-long immigration battle set to return home to Biloela in central Queensland; A diverse group of religious leaders is demanding an urgent First Nations Voice referendum, but not all Indigenous people think recognition should be based on the Uluru Statement roadmap; And, in the week since the election the value of carbon credits has jumped 20 per cent, but the market's critics are raising concerns about the science they're based on.
Australia's leading religious bodies are putting their weight behind the campaign for a constitutional First Nations voice to parliament. To mark the 5th anniversary of the Uluru Statement of the Heart, and the start of Reconciliation Week, a multi-faith coalition has issued a joint resolution calling for bipartisan action to hold a referendum.
One of the first things new PM Anthony Albanese has committed to is a referendum for a voice for Indigenous people in the constitution. There is a groundswell of support in the Australian public — including amongst faith groups. You don't hear much about religion and the Uluru Statement from the Heart, but it is a document of profound faith and hope.

For 15 years, successive governments have kicked the Indigenous Voice to Parliament can down the road. A referendum to enshrine a Voice into the constitution has been shown time and time again to be the most important first step to closing the yawning - and growing - gap between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. Three quarters of Australians say they want it…and yet here we are again! Today Prof Megan Davis, a Cobble Cobble Aboriginal woman, human rights lawyer and co-architect of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, joins us to explain the importance of voting for candidates who support the Voice. My friends, it's time. As Megan says in our chat, this election is a sliding doors moment.Please do read the Uluru Statement From the Heart and support the cause https://ulurustatement.org/the-statement/And if you'd like to contribute to the indigenous women's ranger program I'm involved with, please donate here https://womenrangers-sarahwilson.raisely.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Some had hoped that legislation on a First Nations Voice to Parliament would be released before the 2022 Federal Election. But the prospect of meeting this timeframe remains uncertain. Meanwhile, a new ANU survey has found a significant majority of Australians support recognising First Nations people in the constitution.
How far have we progressed in the work towards recognising Indigenous people in the constitution, and or a First Nations Voice to Parliament? Plus can exercising in very small bursts help you stay fit?
Professor Megan Davis is a Cobble Cobble woman from Queensland and is the current pro Vice-Chancellor and Balnaves Chair in constitutional law at the University of New South Wales. She's worked for the United Nations and has been intimately involved in the campaign for meaningful constitutional recognition for Australia's First Nations people, and had the honour of first reading out the Uluru Statement From the Heart publicly in 2017. Four years on from the creation of the Statement - with its call for Voice, Treaty & Truth - Megan updates me on where the campaign for a constitutional First Nations Voice to Parliament is at, the roadblocks that remain, designing a model and searching for bipartisanship ahead of a possible referendum.

"If this [the First Nations Voice] is something you believe in, and you feel a conviction for it and in your heart you want to this happen, then stand with us and help us bring more people along ... I am absolutely of the belief that when Australians from all walks of life take this up and walk with us as the Uluru Statement invited everybody to do ... we're going to make history together." - Dean Parkin This week on the podcast, we are bringing to you the second part of our interview with Dean Parkin, the Director of the From the Heart campaign. From the Heart's mission is to see Australia realise the principles and propositions laid out in the Uluru Statement from the Heart — Voice, Treaty, Truth. In this second part of our conversation, Dean demystifies the First Nations Voice; also known as the Indigenous Voice to Parliament. He explains at what point in the co-design process we find ourselves, and what the next steps are likely to be. We talk about the public submissions made to the Voice co-design process, and what they demanded of the Federal Parliament.Dean explains why constitutional enshrinement of the First Nations Voice is vital, how it is consistent with the request made by government to the referendum council, and how it honours the wishes of First Nations people. We also talk about the prospect of bi-partisanship support during a potential referendum process.We address the potential membership models for the First Nations Voice. Dean gives his opinion on how the First Nations Voice will practically address disadvantage experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. He addresses the common rationale that drives rebuttal against the First Nations Voice. Finally, we conclude with Dean's opinion on how this profound reform opportunity will unite, not divide, Australian society.Thank you for taking the time to listen.--------------------------------------------------------------------Have you listened to part 1 of this interview yet?

"The Uluru Statement from the Heart is an invite to the Australian people, and I have seen people respond to that invitation. There is a sense that if we could do it 1967, then this is our generation and we can do it this time. I think that more and more people are feeling connected to the cause." - Dean ParkinThis week on the podcast, we are speaking to the Director of the From the Heart campaign — Dean Parkin. From the Heart's mission is to see Australia realise the principles and propositions laid out in the Uluru Statement from the Heart — Voice, Treaty, Truth.Dean was an active participant in the formulation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart and was close to the design process. He has since embarked on a campaign to bring about awareness of the Uluru Statement and the tenets that lay within. This included speaking at TedX in Canberra in 2018, presenting the Uluru Statement to a live audience (link to that speech below).We engage in this conversation with Dean for two fundamental purposes. Firstly, to illuminate the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Secondly, to demystify the First Nations Voice, which the statement outlines as the first step toward harmony between First Nations people and other Australians.This episode is the first of a two-part series. In this episode, Dean explains what the statement is, who was consulted in order for it to be formulated, and why it is unprecedented for its scale. He also gives an insightful take on how previous efforts for constitutional recognition have created a foundation of precedent and success beneath the Uluru Statement. We then move on to the topic of the First Nations Voice. Dean explains what it is, and outlines what function it is likely to have if and when it is actualised. He also address the line of rebuttal commonly known as the 'third chamber of parliament argument', and why he thinks it is baseless and misguided.Thank you for taking the time to listen.---------------------------------------------------To learn more about the From the Heart Campaign: fromtheheart.com.auSources of audio snippets:Nigel Scullion and Pat Dodson (00.00.52)Nigel Scullion and Pat Dodson clash over Indigenous voice to parliamentGuardian News (YouTube channel)www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IzmVhBa9xgDean Parkin (00.08.09 and 00.16.37)The Uluru Statement From The Heart - an idea whose time has come | Dean Parkin | TEDxCanberraTEDx Talks (YouTube channel)www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB-31jD4XcAMegan Davis (00.21.10)Uluru Statement from the HeartGuardian News (YouTube channel)www.youtube.com/watch?v=zREKuT6GUqUNoel Pearson (00.28.49)Noel Pearson - Woodford Folk Festival 2017Cape York Partnership (YouTube channel)www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC3hMEl7DloThomas Mayor (00.35.00)Discussing an Indigenous voice to parliament at Garma |The DrumABC News (Australia) (YouTube channel) www.youtube.com/watch?v=s91ois0Z-m0Danny Gilbert (00.40.29 and 00.52.16)Danny Gilbert - Indigenous Constitutional Recognition SpeechGilbert + Tobin (YouTube channel)www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeimQWHy9DgSupport the show (https://capeyorkpartnership.org.au/donate/)
"At Cape York Institute, we are constantly asking 'why'. Why are Indigenous youth incarceration rates double the national average. Why haven't we closed the gap in the past ten years. Why do issues in Indigenous affairs seem to be getting worse form time to time. So [we at CYI] ask the questions why, and have a deep passion for reform in Indigenous affairs."In this episode of Time to Listen, we are joined by Prue Briggs, Cape York Institute's Head of Policy. The Cape York Institute for Policy and Leadership (CYI) is an Indigenous lead think tank, founded by Noel Pearson in 2004, which dedicates itself wholeheartedly to reform in Indigenous Affairs at the national, state and local levels of government.Prue has worked in the public policy space for over 15 years, and is currently overseeing a policy ideas agenda that has the potential to radically and positively transform socioeconomic outcomes for Indigenous communities.In our discussion, Prue outlines this agenda for 2021, which includes the First Nations Voice to Parliament, a National Jobs Guarantee, furthering education, and matters pertaining to child safety.Prue also provides an overview of how CYI remains in close consultation with Indigenous communities, particularly those in Cape York, to ensure that their policy agenda is co-designed and absolutely in the best interests of the people whom CYI is concerned with.Thank you for taking the time to listen.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To find out more about CYI, visit the website: Cape York Institute - Cape York PartnershipSupport the show (https://capeyorkpartnership.org.au/donate/)
On Episode 61 I yarn with Thomas Mayor. Thomas is a Torres Strait Islander man born on Larrakia country in Darwin. Thomas is the author of Finding the Heart of the Nation - The Journey of the Uluru Statement towards Voice, Treaty and Truth and the children’s book, Finding Our Heart. He is also the national Indigenous officer and Northern Territory branch deputy secretary of the Maritime Union of Australia. Thomas strongly advocates for three changes essential to Australia’s growth as a nation: a First Nations’ Voice to Parliament enshrined in the Constitution; a Treaty between the Australian Government and First Nations People; and truth telling about the nation’s history.Listen to our yarn as he explains some of the history and background behind the Uluru Statement From The Heart and how the Australian community can get involved, support and “walk with us”. We share stories of parenthood and a little sneak peek into his new book due out in September. A truly fascinating yarn!

In May 2017, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander delegates came together at the First Nations National Constitutional Convention near Uluru and presented the Uluru Statement from the Heart to the Australian people. The Statement calls for a First Nations Voice to Parliament, enshrined in the constitution, and a process for agreement making (Treaty) and truth-telling. It was the culmination of 13 deliberative Regional Dialogues across Australia with First Nations communities. The Statement seeks to establish a relationship between Australia's First Nations peoples and the Australian nation based on truth, justice and self-determination. Music by Frank Yamma.

Buwan ng Mayo taong 2017, nang magtipon-tipon ang mga delegado ng Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander para sa First Nations National Constitutional Convention na ginanap malapit sa Uluru at inilahad ang Uluru Statement from the Heart para sa mga ninuno ng Australia. Panawagan ng pahayag na ito ang pagbuo at pagsama ng First Nations Voice sa Parlyamento at Konstitusyon para mabigyan ng katuparan at katuturan ang ugnayang ito. Bilang pagtatapos sa ginawang dayalogo ng 13 Regional Dialogues sa buong Australia, kasama ang komunidad ng First Nations. Natatanging hangad nito na mabuo ang matatag na ugnayan ng First Nations at mamamayan ng Australia sa ngalan at diwa ng katotohanan, katarungan at kalayaan. Musika mula kay Frank Yamma.

The invitation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart is to set off on a journey of mutual attentiveness, of truth-telling and peace-making, without a clear sense of the shared destination. Marcia Langton joins us to discuss whether Australia's political settlement accommodate such a strenuous moral task.
This week on Backchat, we talk to photojournalist Mridula Amin and artist and photographer Lachie Hinton who recently reported on the experiences of refugee children living on Nauru for the New York Times. Later, we chat to lawyer and human rights advocate Teela Reid about the importance of a First Nations Voice before Australia puts forward a republic referendum.
