My question is to the Prime Minister. Given that today is the 10th anniversary of the Bringing them home report into the stolen generations and Sunday is the 40th anniversary of the 1967 referendum, will the Prime Minister consider joining with me in committing to three things that define reconciliation as Jackie Huggins, Co-Chair of Reconciliation Australia, has identified: recognition of the first people of this country, justice to overcome disadvantage—in particular, the 17-year life expectancy gap—and healings so that all Australians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, can move forward?
