First Nations Portfolio, under the extraordinary Professor Peter Yu, has put together an outstanding toolkit for responding to common concerns about an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice (with references!). Read and share! https://t.co/hZwTW2FsCL
As a country, we've spent so long telling Aboriginal Australians how it's going to be.
Telling them what's best for them.
And it hasn't worked.
The Voice is an offer to change that.

Let’s seize this opportunity for Australia.
Thank you to all who have worked so hard to get us here.
