As conversations around the Indigenous Voice referendum ramp up, these three short videos help provide important context.
To help clarify the background of the 2023 Indigenous Voice referendum, these short videos provide expert insight and answer three key questions:
- Why do we need a First Nations voice in the Australian constitution?
- How does Australia compare to similar countries regarding First Nations recognition?
- What are the risks of the referendum?
The answers are provided by expert panellists from last year’s event, From Mabo to the Uluru Statement from the Heart, Dr Shireen Morris, Director of the Institute for the Radical Centre at Macquarie University, Dr Bryan Keon-Cohen KC AM, junior counsel on the Mabo case, and Professor Mark Rose, Pro-Vice Chanceller Indigenous Strategy, Deakin University.
