Voice to Parliament 2023
As a progressive thought-leadership organisation, we work on collaborative projects that build on the legacy of the former South Australian Premier Don Dunstan. As Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and as Premier, Dunstan led significant reforms to improve the lives of First Nations people and to support a fairer and more progressive society.
We welcome the invitation set out in the Uluru Statement from the Heart and its call for constitutional recognition through a Voice. The referendum’s success is not possible without active support from non-Indigenous Australians. The Constitution and the future belong to all of us, and the best policies are made when we listen to those who they affect. We believe the Voice is the next step we need to take as a country to walk together with First Nations people.
The Don Dunstan Foundation has joined with other South Australian civil society organisations to show our support for Indigenous Constitutional Recognition through a Voice to Parliament and we are undertaking a range of other activities in the community to back the Yes campaign and promote a Yes vote.
You can follow us on social media where we’re sharing a series of posts about the reasons why we’re voting Yes or sign up for our e-newsletter for all the latest news and information about the referendum.
