Statement - Minister Wyatt

I have today written to Ms Cashman to advise her of the cessation of her appointment to the Voice Co-design Senior Advisory Group.

Following recent discussions with the Senior Advisory Group Co-Chairs, Professor Dr Marcia Langton AM and Professor Tom Calma AO, and after careful consideration, I have decided that Ms Cashman’s membership of the Group is no longer tenable.

Ms Cashman’s actions are not conducive to the constructive and collaborative approach required to progress the important co-design process for an Indigenous voice.
