Irish For The Voice

🖤💛❤️

Hard to believe a year has passed since our Irish For The Voice rallies in support of Indigenous Voice referendum in Australia. (Link below to the online rally which was amazing). An incredible experience connecting with so many people from across this special land. The result was a major blow to the work of truth, justice and reconciliation, and was fuelled in large part by Dutton's Trumpian division, Murdoch media and a Brexit-like mis and disinformation agenda (look up Atlas Network and Advance Australia). However, I have no doubt that the movements for change are unstoppable and that change will come. Thinking of all the great people involved and all the courageous voices for change that continue to work for a better future for First Nations people.🖤💛❤

From Dom Beckett - A Sydney based lawyer with 20 years experience in Native Title negotiations. -
It is just days before referendum weekend. I will be voting "yes" and am encouraging others to do likewise. Why? Because I think it is right to formally acknowledge the special place of Australia's First Nations in our Constitution. Because the Voice proposal is the culmination of a long consultative process about how best to do this, and is over-whelmingly supported by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people themselves. Because Commonwealth laws and government policy affecting Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders can only be improved by them having a representative and advisory Voice. Because contrary to some of the silly things being said, the Voice proposal is clearly about national reconciliation - it is simply not about division. I have worked in Aboriginal land rights, native title and related areas for more than two decades. There is room for disagreement about how best to get things done. But it deeply troubles me that so much of what I am hearing from the "no" side is whipped up fear-laden rubbish.
