Enshrining a First Nations Voice in the Australian Constitution

The University of Melbourne and the City of Melbourne are proud to partner with the Sydney Peace Foundation to celebrate the awarding of the prestigious Sydney Peace Prize to the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

Please join us to hear from Alyawarre woman Pat Anderson AO, Cobble Cobble woman Professor Megan Davis, and Guugu Yimidhirr man Noel Pearson, who worked tirelessly with the community to deliver the Uluru Statement from the Heart in May 2017. With a referendum on the Voice due before the next federal election, this event is an opportunity to learn more about the Statement’s call to build a better future by establishing a First Nations Voice to Parliament enshrined in the Constitution, and a Makarrata Commission for the purpose of treaty making and truth-telling.

The evening will include:

• A keynote address from Professor Megan Davis
  
• A panel discussion with Pat Anderson AO, Noel Pearson and Professor Megan Davis facilitated by broadcaster Jon Faine AM
  
• Music from University of Melbourne Indigenous musicians Jonathan Watling and Shauntai Batzke
