Project Respect supports the call for an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament through the lens of self-determination.
It is time to truly listen to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people about the decisions that affect them. The referendum is a request directly from Indigenous Australians that has been decades in the making and is supported by more than 80% of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
This referendum is about straightforward ideas and practical solutions:
- Recognising and respecting 65,000 years of Indigenous culture for the first time in Australia’s 122-year-old constitution.
- Listening to a diverse group of Indigenous Australians about the policies and challenges that affect them.
- Protecting the Voice from future politics and bureaucrats by putting it in the constitution.
A ‘yes’ vote takes us on the first steps towards the vision of truth and treaty.
The alternative is to retain the status quo. The gaps between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in life expectancy, infant mortality, health, housing, education and employment have persisted for too long.
We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to begin to improve this - together.
