Enshrining a First Nations Voice in the Australian Constitution

Presented by The University of Melbourne and the City of Melbourne, partnering with the Sydney Peace Foundation.

From the Heart: Enshrining a First Nations Voice in the Australian Constitution is a talk celebrating the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the 2021/22 recipient of the Sydney Peace Prize.

Hear from the architects of the Statement, beginning with a keynote address from Professor Megan Davis, followed by a panel discussion with Professor Davis, Pat Anderson AO and Noel Pearson, facilitated by Jon Faine AM, with music from University of Melbourne Indigenous musicians Jonathan Watling and Shauntai Batzke.

With a referendum on a First Nations Voice to Parliament due before the next federal election, this is a great opportunity to support the Statement’s call to build a better future by establishing a Voice to Parliament enshrined in the Constitution, and a Makarrata Commission for the purpose of treaty making and truth-telling.
