Australia's new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said recently "we will be advancing the need to have constitutional recognition of First Nations people, including a Voice to Parliament that is enshrined in that constitution." Those points were encapsulated in the Uluru Statement from the Heart in 2017 which also proposes the negotiation of a treaty. It was signed by 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander delegates at a constitutional convention. One of those signatories was Thomas Mayor who spent 18 months taking the signed document around Australia.
