This iconic themed display in is breathtaking, for mine.

The respect for aboriginal rights and indigenous equality is strong in these parts.

What better way to celebrate such vital aspects of modern Australia than to display such magnificent art within the heartland of the city’s botanic and recreation areas?

The eyes of these children are filled with hope, happiness and compassion.

I have a strong sense the voice of a nation is making lasting strides, for the better.

For ‘ALL’.

Right now, the RAAF has planes flying in formation over the inner eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
It's appropriate that the armed forces are putting on a display today on Australia Day. Since white people settled here, we've been engaged in a genocidal war against Indigenous people. That war has never been officially declared over.
It's time for truth-telling.
It's time for our government to acknowledge the harm of colonialism.
It's time for a treaty.

This stand-alone building in is wrapped entirely of art.

Painted by Ky-ya Nicholson-Ward, from the people.

The Wurundjeri people are Australian Aboriginal peoples from the . They are the Traditional Owners of the Birrarung (Yarra River) Valley, covering much of the present location of Narrm (Melbourne).

The messages are clear, and are supported wholeheartedly by the vast majority of ; , and , and .

I stand in solidarity with our traditional owners of the land; peoples past, present and emerging.

@compass1312

with the caveat that i am a white person assuming the right to discuss this at all (i will dig up some First Nations responses in due course);

the very existence of the referendum question;
the very existence of Australia/ Constitution

assumes “might is right” OR “white superiority” OR “it’s done now best suck it up and make the mist of it” OR something else that makes it okay to decide how to provide or manage a Voice in the first place.

without an Australian government treaty / or someone ceding sovereignty there can be no “contract” between First Nations and Australia

this whole process will have the MORAL authority of a fart in a windstorm

ESPECIALLY given this is being decided NOT by ALL First Nations together but by a (carefully? 🤔) selected handful of First Nations people and a bunch of white (vested?🤔) interests.

Only in Australia could they justify a referendum proposing more of the same paternalism in the name of greater Indigenous participation in decision making.
Only 0.15% of First Nations people were consulted in the Referendum Council Regional Dialogues.
0.03% of First Nations people was deemed a consensus at the National Constitutional Convention.
People were kept out, shut out and walked out.
This is what the Government thinks Indigenous participation in decision making means.
Ignoring voices for 234 years.
