A Vote from the Heart
Rocco Fazzari offers us a dream-like depiction of the magnificent Alice Springs landscape: a starry sky looks on as Australians vote on the Voice at cardboard voting booths. The Uluru Statement from the Heart recommended establishing the Voice to parliament and a Makarrata Commission (to pursue an agreement and truth-telling). The Statement emerged from the 2017 First Nations Constitutional Convention. Over 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders attended the convention, and a majority of them reached consensus on a way forward for constitutional recognition and reform.
