YES23
Voting Yes is an invitation to treat all Australians equally, fairly and respectfully. It's an opportunity to give a voice to First Nations Peoples, to bring our people to the table, to serve and protect our communities as we care for Country, look after our Elders and share knowledge.
Voting Yes is just beginning.
This series of interviews for the YES23 campaign shares reflections from Aboriginal people from across the country and encourages Australians to develop a deeper understanding of what it means to vote "Yes".
