Address to the Chifley Research Conference on The Voice to Parliament
The Voice referendum will ask Australians to say yes to a modest but meaningful change.
Two simple principles.
Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our constitution.
And consultation. The simple, practical idea that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a say in the policies and decisions that affect their lives.
Not just because that’s common courtesy, but because the outcomes for people will be better.
The Voice will be a national achievement in which every Australian can share.
