ACOSS shares the disappointment expressed by the @ulurustatement in response to Prime Minster Albanese's declaration that the Government will no longer commit to implementing the Uluru Statement from the Heart in full. Read the full public response from @ulurustatement below:
"The Uluru Dialogue was focusing its next efforts on connecting with the 6.2 million voters who supported the yes campaign – the largest social justice movement in Australian history - and then considering next steps to keep pushing for changes."

"Sure, the referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament failed. But the prevalence of bad faith in the debate that preceded it underlines rather than undermines the worth of the Uluru Statement as a guide to how we should relate to one another in and beyond politics." @ANUmedia

Incredible James Ward opens #HR23 plenary:
- Giving Indigenous Peoples a Voice is decolonising harm reduction
- The drug war is the opposite of decolonising harm reduction
- Dismantle systems: racism, discrimination, stigma, criminalisation
- Decentralise & reallocate resources
“Australia is a nation that can no longer point to the 1890s drafters and say that the racism imbued in our constitutional order is the legacy of ‘old, white, rich, dead men’. Modern Australia owned that on October 14, 2023.” @mdavisqlder on the referendum https://t.co/qo2VkoK9m5

.@mdavisqlder on what next after the referendum: “As we face the reinforcement of the status quo, the only solace we find is in the six million confirmed friends that we never knew we had.” #auspol https://t.co/8xH0ZnnyCC
International human rights lawyer, United Nations Indigenous rights expert & now... Marie Claire’s Powerhouse Woman of the Year! 👏
A huge congrats to Cobble Cobble woman @mdavisqlder who has been named ‘The Powerhouse’ in Marie Claire’s annual Women of the Year Awards.
“Many First Nations people are saying reconciliation is dead as a framework that never equipped Australians with an understanding of structural inequality. A conversation needs to be had with Aussies about what the appropriate lens is moving forward together as Aussies.”
We’re so thrilled that our Co-Chair – Cobble Cobble and South Sea Islander woman and international human rights lawyer @mdavisqlder – has won the Powerhouse category of the @marieclaireau 2023 Women of the Year Awards.
“I am proud that for the first time since 1788, we now know that 6 million Australians support First Nations aspirations for rights and justice … Our work continues; we intend to engage and galvanise the support of 6 million Australians and plan for the future.”
