Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are asking the country for two simple things. Recognition in the constitution. And a Voice to Parliament. Today the Referendum Working Group has announced the proposed wording for a referendum that will do just that.
And this morning, Cabinet has endorsed the wording of the question Australians will be asked. For so many, today is the result of years of patient and passionate work. Now, the chance to make history and create a better future belongs to you – the people of Australia.

@AlboMP 1/ They should get one, not the other. The wording of the recognition of the aboriginal as the first people of Australia, is wrong. They weren't. Denisovan cultural artifacts were found coming from 120,000 years ago.
@AlboMP 2/ The professor that made the discovery said that they were Aboriginal, meaning native to the land. Unfortunately, the group currently identified as aboriginal Australians, misunderstood that and their activists picked it up and made waves with it.
