What is the Voice to Parliament? | with Pat Anderson AO
Many Australians are still unsure what the referendum on is even about. What would a Voice to Parliament look like, and how would it help Indigenous people? To help make it more clear, the Australia Institute’s own Kate McBride recently sat down with Pat Anderson AO, Alyawarre woman and architect of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
This was recorded on Friday 8th September 2023 and things may have changed since recording.
