I join with Linda Burney in wishing Patrick Dodson all the very best during his medical treatment.
Thankyou Senator Dodson for all your work bringing the Uluru Statement from the Heart & The Voice to the hearts & minds of Australia.

We cannot let this #referendum fail.

Labor senator and Aboriginal elder Patrick Dodson, in a speech yesterday (4 February 2023), said:

"There are some out there who are pressing for more detail. They will never get enough ... Our political process is in the parliament, and that’s where the detail is always settled and proposed. So don’t get distracted by the call for more detail …

"I hope that Australians will respond generously to this very simple request as the first step in us fixing things."

He stressed that reconciliation would go further, towards treaty and truth telling.
