The Voice to Parliament

Church of All Nations – 180 Palmerston Street,

‘The referendum will be a rare opportunity for Australians to improve our nation’s standing in the world, and vastly improve the lives of Indigenous peoples, with a single act of reconciliation.’ – Thomas Mayo

Join us for an evening of conversation with Indigenous leader Thomas Mayo (formerly Mayor) and acclaimed journalist Kerry O’Brien because you want to better understand what a Voice to Parliament actually means. Together Mayo and O’Brien have written The Voice to Parliament Handbook: All the Detail You Need as a clear and simple guide for the millions of Australians who have expressed support for the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

Free, but bookings are essential. Please book here.

This event is supported by Church of All Nations, The Victorian Women’s Trust and Readings.
