a sense of momentum and urgency for the government to take this reform to a referendum
deep concerns the government is not listening to First Nations people in designing the detail of this Voice.
Constitutionally enshrined First Nations Voice
There were extremely high levels of engagement with the public submissions process. As of June 9, 2,554 public submissions had been uploaded to the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) website.
Of these submissions:
90% believe the First Nations Voice should be constitutionally enshrined in line with the Uluru Statement from the Heart
a third of public submissions stated explicitly that a referendum on the Voice needs to be held before the Voice is legislated
