Prime聽Minister Anthony Albanese claims that Labor is 鈥渄etermined鈥 to close the gap, but the latest report shows things have gotten worse for First Nations people. Isaac Nellist reports.
91自拍论坛鈥檚 Alex Bainbridge聽spoke to Independent Senator and DjabWurrung Gunnai Gunditjmara聽Lidia Thorpe聽about Labor鈥檚 promises and record on addressing First Nations鈥 injustices.
91自拍论坛 journalists Isaac Nellist and Chloe DS go through the latest news from across the continent and around the world.
Most First Nations people have rightly聽felt the result of the Voice referendum as a slap in the face, but the movement needs to look forward and continue to pressure Labor to聽implement the Statement from the Heart in full, argues Peter Boyle.
Gunnai Gunditjmara and Djab Wurrung woman and Independent Victorian Senator Lidia Thorpe described the No vote as a win for the sovereign rights of First Peoples to determine their own destiny. Kerry Smith reports.
It is not the time to be silent, argues聽Amy McQuire.聽We must recentre this No vote on what we already know is true:聽racism and white supremacy.聽we must stand not only for each other, but our Indigenous brothers and sisters in Palestine.
Socialist Alliance recommends a Yes vote for the referendum on the Voice. But we also recognise that substantial measures to benefit Indigenous people require a strengthening of the grassroots movements for change. This will be true whatever the outcome on October 14, writes Sam Wainwright.
A Yes vote won鈥檛 change whose constitution it is; a no vote won鈥檛 take the struggle back decades, argues Arrente woman Celeste Liddle.
The聽Voice to Parliament should be supported because it would provide coordination for聽programs to close the gap across all First Nations communities, argues Colin Hughes.
Tens of thousands of people took part in the nationwide walks over聽September 16聺鈥17 as part of the Yes campaign.
Sam Wainwright told Alex Bainbridge聽while the official Yes and official No campaigns for the Voice to Parliament referendum are based on conservative agendas, the demoralisation that would flow from a No victory聽outweighs the limitations聽of the Voice.
