So-called Australia has a long history of white voices being the ones who speak on First Nations stories, and how we’re represented.

With the national debate leading into the Voice to Parliament referendum intensifying, we must remember to be kind to one another as an act of solidarity against racism.

However, there is still apprehension from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people around the country about what this ‘Voice’ is going to look like in practice.
