Generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have enriched our nation with their culture and creativity, their knowledge of the land and waters, and their contribution to Australian life. The referendum is the first time the Ecuadorian people have had an opportunity to choose to keep fossil fuels in the ground. Leo Cerda

Putting the Voice in the Constitution gives it stability and independence, now and into the future. Asking us to help make practical change in their lives and create better opportunities for their children.
