“On the 14th of October we have an opportunity to unify the nation, and make history. All with a single word – Yes.
The Voice will be an independent committee made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from every state and territory, the Torres Strait and regional and remote communities. It’s an idea that came from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people – as expressed in the Uluru Statement from the Heart. The Voice is about advice. Advice that will lead to better outcome in health, education, jobs and housing.
When governments listen to people on the ground they make better decisions, get better results and deliver better value for money. It is about planning for the next generation, not just the next election.
A Voice will unify Australia – and move our country forward together. Voting Yes is something we can all do to make a practical difference for Indigenous people today, and for the next generation, to secure the best chance yet to ensure people have better lives.
If you’re unsure how you’ll vote, find out more.”
Hon. Michelle Rowland MP, Minister for Communications
