Linda Burney (Barton, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Indigenous Australians) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the member for Capricornia for her question. The question went to issues to do with an element of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, and the position of the Australian government is that we support the implementation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart. This is an idea that came from Indigenous Australians themselves, not the government. It is a generous offer to all Australians to walk together to a better future, and this year we have the chance to vote for constitutional recognition through a voice. It is something that I support. It is something the member for Berowra supports. The member for Bass, the member for Calare, the member for Curtin, the member for Wentworth and the Liberal Premier of Tasmania, Jeremy Rockliff, support it. It is important to understand that recognition through a voice is about a better future.
