A Yarn About The Referendum

This year we’ll be asked to vote in a referendum on whether First Nations people should be acknowledged in our Constitution and have a Voice to Parliament. For some community members, the upcoming referendum on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament is a significant step forward, and for others a contentious issue.

Many community members have a lot of questions about what this actually means, but there are ways to find out information in a straightforward way. Knowing where the trusted sources of information are is one way, and the other is attending one of the many yarning sessions being held around the city over the coming months.

The Community Place Stafford would love to invite everyone to come to our Repair Café on the 20th May from 10am – 12pm at The Community Place Stafford and have a yarn about the upcoming Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum and the Uluru Statement of the Heart.

There will be a pop up information stall hosted in collaboration with the Noonga Reconciliation Group.

This is an opportunity for everyone in the community to share thoughts, questions and concerns about the referendum, in a safe and inclusive environment.

For more information email The Community Place at enquiries@thecommunityplace.com.au.
