“On Saturday October 14 you’ll be asked a simple question:
“A Proposed Law: to alter the #Constitution to recognise the #FirstPeoples of #Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. Do you approve this proposed alteration?”
Here are 4 reasons we’ll be voting #YES to a #VoicetoParliament:”
1. Vote #YES to give #FirstNations communities the opportunity to provide the government with feedback on issues that affect them. The government will still be responsible for all laws, programs and funding. The #Parliament will still make all decisions.
2. Vote #YES to provide more practical solutions to issues faced by #FirstNations communities, like health, education, jobs and housing.
3. Vote #YES to protect the #Voice from being discarded by future governments, as advisory bodies have been time and time again. Putting the Voice in the #constitution means that it can always be improved, but never just thrown away.
4. Vote #YES because it’s what #FirstNations communities are asking us to do, because it’s a step in the right direction, where everyone is given a fair go regardless of their background, gender or where they live.
