My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Constitutional recognition through a Voice to Parliament started with Indigenous Australians. More than 1,200 First Nations representatives took part in nationwide consultations that led to the Uluru Statement from the Heart. It will allow First Nations people to finally have a say on policies and laws that affect our communities. The Prime Minister declared his commitment to the Uluru Statement from the Heart at almost every speech and rally during the election campaign, and Australians voted for change. What progress has been made in implementing the Uluru Statement from the Heart and a Voice?
