Why We Need The Uluru Statement From The Heart Now

The Quicky

Five years after the Uluru Statement from the Heart was gifted to the Australian people, it seems the new Labor Government is finally willing to implement it after the previous Government resisted.

But what exactly is it, how do we go about bringing it into force, and how will it impact you?

The Quicky speaks to a First Nations scholar, and an expert in Australian history and culture to unpack everything you need to know about the Statement, and why you will have the final say on whether or not First Nations people finally get a voice in Parliament.
