To whom it may concern

Submission to Co-design process

My name is Carlo. I am originally from Florence Italy, but I have been living in Australia for 11 years and I am an Australian citizen. I have a baccalaureate with honours in Political Science and I work as a secondary school teacher for the Department of Education of NSW.

Why do you think the Uluru Statement from the Heart is important?
Because it is time for a First Nations Voice to Parliament protected by the Constitution

Why do you think it's important to enshrine the Voice to Parliament in the Constitution, rather than include it only in legislation?
The government must know that the only acceptable reform is a First Nations Voice to Parliament protected by the Constitution.

Why is it important for Indigenous people to have a say in the matters that affect them?
To reduce and eventually eliminate the social and economic gap between them and the other Australians.

How could a Voice to Parliament improve the lives of your community?
It could empower and support the lives of the Aboriginal people living within our community.

Thank you,
Carlo Ugolini
