Later this year, Australians will vote on a change to the Constitution which will enshrine a Voice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Finance Sector Union members are coming together to support the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ campaign for Constitutional recognition through a Voice to Parliament.
After over 65,000 years of continuous culture, it’s time Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are recognised in our 122-year-old Constitution. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people want recognition in a practical form; this means having a say on issues and policies that impact their lives.
It’s an important change that will make Australia fairer and better – and we are proud to be campaigning in support of a Yes vote.
You’re invited to attend our Campaign Launch!
