I am a high school English teacher

Why do you think the Uluru Statement from the Heart is important?
We all need to listen to wisdom

How could a Voice to Parliament improve the lives of your community?
In my community where I don’t have contact with the indigenous community I feel bereft of something critically imortant.

Why is it important for Indigenous people to have a say in the matters that affect them?
Autonomy is at the heart of our culture.

Why do you think it's important to enshrine the Voice to Parliament in the Constitution, rather than include it only in legislation?
Because nothing can be more fundamental that the voice of the owners.

Kind regards,
Nick Smith
