First Nations Voice

The First Nations Voice refers to an initiative in Australia aimed at giving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples a formal mechanism to provide input on laws and policies that affect them. It involves establishing a representative body that would offer advice to the Australian Parliament on issues such as land rights, health, and education. This proposal emerged from the Uluru Statement from the Heart, advocating for greater recognition and respect for Indigenous perspectives and rights within the Australian governance framework, fostering a more inclusive approach to decision-making.
