The prospects for constitutional change and implementing an Indigenous Voice to Parliament

Abstract

Some had hoped that legislation on a First Nations Voice to Parliament would be released before the 2022 Federal Election.

But the prospect of meeting this timeframe remains uncertain.

Meanwhile, a new ANU survey has found a significant majority of Australians support recognising First Nations people in the constitution.

This 23minute radio recording is facilitated by Hilary Harper with the following guests:

Professor Megan Davis, Pro Vice-Chancellor Indigenous and Professor of Law at UNSW, Chair of the Expert Mechanism on the UN Rights of Indigenous People. Megan was intimately involved in the process that led to the 2017 Uluru statement from the Heart.
