"Everything You Need to Know About the Uluru Statement from the Heart" By Megan Davis & George Williams
We leave base camp and start our trek across this vast country. We invite you to walk with us in a movement of the Australian people for a better future.
On 26 May 2017, after a historic process of consultation, the Uluru Statement from the Heart was read out. This clear and urgent call for reform to the community from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples asked for the establishment of a First Nations Voice to Parliament protected in the constitution and a process of agreement-making and truth-telling. Voice. Treaty. Truth.
What was the journey to this point? What do Australians need to know about the Uluru Statement from the Heart? And how can these reforms be achieved?
Everything You Need to Know about the Uluru Statement from the Heart, written by Megan Davis and George Williams, two of Australia’s best-known constitutional experts, is essential reading on how our Constitution was drafted, what the 1967 referendum achieved, and the lead-up and response to the Uluru Statement. Importantly, it explains how the Uluru Statement offers change that will benefit the whole nation.
