The Voice to Parliament
MECA reaffirms our support for the Uluru Statement from the Heart and it’s calls for a First Nations Voice to Parliament to be enshrined in the constitution.
MECA is proud to support the Uluru Statement from the Heart. We accept the invitation from the Uluru Statement to all Australians to support constitutional and structural reform so Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can take their rightful place in our nation. We support the proposal for a Voice to Parliament enabled by the constitution that gives Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people a say on matters that impact their communities.
After extensive dialogue with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the Uluru Statement was delivered to the Australian people in 2017.
Daniel Gobena [MECA Manager] said,
“The call for a Voice to Parliament through the Uluru Statement from the Heart remains just as important as it was in 2017. It is a fair and practical reform that will make a real difference for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
MECA is also proud to support the From the Heart campaign to raise awareness and understanding of the Uluru Statement from the Heart around Australia.
