25.01.2022 Celebrating NAIDOC Week "Always Was, Always Will Be. recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. We are spiritually and culturally connected to this country. This country was criss-crossed by generations of brilliant Nations. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were Australia’s first explorers, first navigators, first engineers, first farmers, first botanists, first scientists, first diplomats, first as...tronomers and first artists. Australia has the world’s oldest oral stories. The First Peoples engraved the world’s first maps, made the earliest paintings of ceremony and invented unique technologies. We built and engineered structures - structures on Earth - predating well-known sites such as the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge. Our adaptation and intimate knowledge of Country enabled us to endure climate change, catastrophic droughts and rising sea levels. Always Was, Always Will Be. acknowledges that hundreds of Nations and our cultures covered this continent. All were managing the land - the biggest estate on earth - to sustainably provide for their future." @naidocweek Head to www.naidoc.org.au for more info and events and to support our First Nations friends!

24.01.2022 The Uluru Statement from the Heart ... path to a future of Australians.

21.01.2022 Many of you will recall that during May of 2021, Senator Patrick Dodson delivered the UN World Interfaith Harmony Week on our behalf, in collaboration with Canberra Interfaith Forum and the Parliamentary Friends of Multiculturalism. Today, Senator Dodson will take an important step for Indigenous Australians: Labor will move a motion in the Senate today in support of a referendum for a constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament which is what the Uluru Statement from t...he Heart called for. From Patrick Dodson and Malarndirri McCarthy’s statement: The proposals in the Uluru Statement are modest and compelling. They are the result of an extensive, democratic process involving months of dialogues with First Nations people around the country. Yet four years after the Uluru Statement was first presented to the Australian people, very little progress has been made towards realising its generous vision. In 2017, the Greens expressed their strong support for the Uluru Statement and urged all sides of politics to start the process outlined. In 2019, Minister Wyatt promised a referendum on constitutional recognition in this term of Government. We are asking the Coalition and the Greens to stand by these promises and join Labor in supporting the Uluru Statement from the Heart in full. The Uluru Statement represents a unique opportunity to realise a fairer and more decent Australia.
