Referendum: The Indigenous Voice to Parliament

Western Sydney University remains deeply committed to facilitating opportunities where we can have an ongoing dialogue about all aspects of the Voice. The purpose of this second webinar was to provide staff with information about Referendum on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament which will be held on October 14th. 

To ensure the Western Sydney community has access to diverse opinions and research, the Social Justice Network will host a screening of the Opening Keynote at the 2023 Universities Australia Conference by Professor Megan Davis, an informative and thought-provoking talk about Aboriginal history and colonisation. This was followed by a panel discussion led by our Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Leadership), Professor Michelle Trudgett. 
The panel will discuss the Uluru Statement from the Heart, and whether the implementation of a Voice to Parliament will effectively acknowledge First Nations sovereignty in Australia.
