The future of Constitutional Recognition

Abstract

This 15minute segment on Radio National Morning Program provides an update on the Voice with guests providing insights to the current status of this important structural proposition.

It looks increasingly unlikely the Federal Government will present legislation for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament before the next election.

The final report from the advisory groups tasked with putting forward models for local regional and national voices has been given to the Minister for Indigenous Australians, Ken Wyatt, but not publicly released.

Guests: Tom Calma, former Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner; co-chair of the senior advisory group on co-design

Professor Megan Davis, Chair of the Expert Mechanism on the UN Rights of Indigenous People

Associate Professor Hannah McGlade, Senior Indigenous Fellow at the Office of the High Commission on Human Rights
