I was very moved and inspired by the rigorous and inclusive process undertaken to arrive at the Uluru Statement from the Heart. I read the Statement, I heard the Statement. I understood the significance of it. I was horrified and perplexed when the Government disrespectfully dismissed the Statement when it was delivered. It is now time for it to be treated with the gravitas it deserves.

1. The Government must honour its election commitment to a referendum once a model for the Voice has been settled;
2. Enabling legislation for the Voice must be passed after a referendum has been held in the next term of Parliament; and
3. The membership model for the National Voice must ensure previously unheard Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have the same chance of being selected as established leadership figures.
