This week marks the start of National Reconciliation Week and all around the country communities are celebrating this year’s theme “Let’s Talk Recognition.”
The focus is on how all Australians can come together and recognise the contributions, cultures and histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
This week Newslines Radio looks at the support that is building for constitutional change around the country.
The Australian Government is committed to pursuing meaningful change in the Constitution – change that unites the nation and reflects the hopes and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
Successful constitutional change can’t occur without the support of the majority of Australians.
Newslines spoke to two prominent Australians about constitutional change and what it will mean for all Australians.
Listen to what they had to say in this Newslines Radio program.
