A reminder what the Uluru Statement actually is

New Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has promised a referendum on the Uluru Statement from the Heart. So what is it? What will Australians be voting on?

The Statement itself calls for an Aboriginal voice to parliament and a Makarrata Commission, a process of agreement making between governments and First Nations and truth-telling about their history. It came from a convention bringing together over 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders at the foot of Uluru. Thomas Mayor was one of the 250 signatories. He’s written a book on his 18-month journey taking the statement all across Australia. The book is Finding the Heart of the Nation.

On today’s Briefing, what is the Uluru Statement from the Heart? And will it finally provide a voice for the people of Australia’s First Nations?
