The Indigenous Law Centre at the University of NSW continues to ask the community to support the ongoing push for a constitutionally protected Voice to Parliament.
“This task is urgent,” says co-chairs Pat Anderson and Prof Megan Davis.
“We must let parliament know that the Australian people support the Uluru Statement and a constitutionally protected First Nations Voice to Parliament and that we will vote ‘Yes’ at a referendum,” they say. Their latest tool is a push to get people writing to their federal MP and Senator. “Help us do this by telling your Federal MP and Senators that you support a First Nations Voice to Parliament protected by the Constitution and that you will vote “Yes” in a referendum.
“Tell them that legislating a Voice first, before a referendum, will derail 14 years of bi-partisan support for constitutional recognition of First Nations. “Ask them to publicly support the Uluru Statement from the Heart and to commit to a referendum so the Australian people can have their say on a First Nations Voice to Parliament protected by the Constitution.
“The new tool enables you to advocate directly with your Federal MP and Senators for the Uluru Statement from the Heart and a First Nations Voice to Parliament protected by the Constitution.
“Simply click on the button below, read the key messages and instructions, complete the letter in your own words and voice, and then hit send! It is as easy as that! “
