A VOICE TO PARLIAMENT NAIDOC WEEK

In June this year, a bill will be introduced into Federal Parliament seeking to hold a referendum that will ask the nation to honour the first part of this document by enshrining an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice in Federal Parliament.

If this bill is successful, the government will hold a referendum to vote on this matter later part of this year.

This is an important step in the reconciliation journey and will give First Nations people a say in matters that directly affect them.
