A Yarn about The Voice - Dinnawhan & BJ

The Unfinished Cubby

“The Voice” is one of the two parts of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which was released in 2017 from a convention of 250 Indigenous leaders. The implementation of “The Voice” part of the Uluru Statement is now (2023) underway in the form of a bill before the Australian parliament. On Saturday, 14 October 2023, Australians will vote on a single question to change the Constitution. The question will be about adding words into the Constitution about an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. ---- This conversation between Dinnawhan, BJ, and Kris was intended as a bit of a bridge between two different ways-of-being that currently exist in Australia. As a person who comes from a culture shaped most heavily by the "colonialist" attitude, this conversation really did allow me to glimpse the world, and what is possible, from a profoundly different, and powerfully hopeful, perspective. ---- Other Links: A Conversation About the First Nations Voice in Parliament : https://medium.com/@medi-muse/response-to-andrew-wallace-mp-about-the-voice-in-parliament-7f8b217c3b3a Uluru Statement from the Heart: : https://ulurustatement.org/the-statement/view-the-statement/ The Unfinished Cubby Podcast : https://rss.com/podcasts/unfinishedcubby/ Unfinished Cubby Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/unfinishedcubby Episode Sponsor : https://cocreations.com.au/ --- Don't forget to vote on Saturday the 14th October!
