With the theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026 (27 May – 3 June) being "All In," Reconciliation Dungog will show at the James Theatre Dungog, in the spirit of truth-telling, Warrick Thornton's latest movie, Wolfram, which stars Debra Mailman.

Two years following the defeat of the Voice referendum, First Nations leaders are coming together to discuss what the No vote has meant for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia.

Professor Megan Davis AC, Professor Bronwyn Fredericks, Geoff Scott and Pat Anderson AO will reflect on the silence that followed and why a vote for No was, ultimately, a vote for the status quo.

To have your voice heard (and interests represented), please complete the survey and circulate with your networks!
