@ProfGWilliams @westernsydneyu Congratulations George!

[Ambassador James Larsen 🇦🇺🇺🇳 @AustraliaUN]

Congratulations to Australian Judge Hilary Charlesworth on her re-election to the International Court of Justice for 2024-2033 - a testament to the high esteem in which Judge Charlesworth is held globally.

We thank Member States for their support.

A statement from Indigenous Australians who supported the Voice referendum. https://t.co/UlW2kvd9oa

[Madelaine Chiam @MaddyChiam]

I'm voting YES because the Voice is constitutionally safe. More importantly, it addresses the gaping silence in our Constitution about the First Peoples of this land and our brutal colonial history of Indigenous dispossession.

[Madelaine Chiam @MaddyChiam]

I'm voting YES because the Voice came from a decades long consultative process and is supported by a majority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

[Madelaine Chiam @MaddyChiam]

@SenatorCash @JNampijinpa This is not correct Senator, and that is the view of now over 80 of us who teach public and constitutional law, former High Court judges, the Solicitor-General, the Law Council of Australia and many many others. https://t.co/zw1qcCRTId

Speaking to the Aust’n people today from the open letter, signed by 70+ public law teachers from across the country, about how the Voice doesn’t introduce race or racialise the Constitution, but creates a positive & inclusive response to existing division https://t.co/ugrJLJPHzp

Please share and use all of these resources in conversations with friends, family and colleagues about the referendum. With early voting open and 1 week to referendum day, it would be great for as many voters as possible to make an informed decision about their vote!

[Madelaine Chiam @MaddyChiam]

Our letter from over 70 public and constitutional law teachers got a lot of media yesterday - let's keep spreading the word. An updated version will be released on Monday with even more signatories! Resources about the letter follow 1/6 https://t.co/WmOxv9OiiJ

In Perth, @MurrayWesson chatted with @abcperth about the letter (listen from the 42min mark) 5/6

My interview on ABC radio today about how to assess the reliability of legal arguments and the importance of constitutional history to the referendum. Constitutional law teachers sign Voice to Parliament open letter to address 'misunderstanding' https://t.co/HKTH3rpoMC

[Madelaine Chiam @MaddyChiam]

@Dr_Joe_McIntyre @Gabrielle_J_A Great idea, Joe. I'm definitely up for this.

[Madelaine Chiam @MaddyChiam]

This thread from @Gabrielle_J_A explains succinctly our open letter, signed by 71 public law teachers, to help voters sift through the information on the Voice, details here https://t.co/GN4BUZal5s

[Dr Gabrielle Appleby @Gabrielle_J_A]

I’ve joined forces with my fellow public law teachers to write an open letter to the Australian People ahead of the Voice referendum to help you navigate some of the information and arguments you are coming across 1/3 https://t.co/pE4xVNihna

[Madelaine Chiam @MaddyChiam]

@Dr_Joe_McIntyre @Gabrielle_J_A Thanks for being a part of it too Joe!
