An Indigenous Voice to Parliament is a “modest and gracious” request that Australia must embrace, according to Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese, who will travel to Uluru next week to push for constitutional recognition.
“It’s a modest and gracious request that First Nations be consulted about policies that affect them,” Mr Albanese said. The 2017 Uluru statement recommended a voice to Parliament, a Makarrata or truth-telling Commission and ultimately a treaty between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians.
