Legislative Assembly Hansard – 24 October 2024 – proof
Just over a year ago, 70 percent of my constituents and I accepted the invitation from First Nations people in the Uluru Statement from the Heart by writing yes in the referendum and began the walk in a movement of the Australian people for a better future.
While millions of Australians engaged with the Voice, treaty and truth, many for the first time, the nationwide result was heartbreaking. Having been involved in a national public vote, the marriage equality vote, and still impacted by that, I cannot imagine the pain felt by those connected to the Voice campaign.
