Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and Nyunggai Warren Mundine discuss the Voice"Join CIS on Wednesday 30 August, in Hobart at the Henry Jones Hotel as we host an event with Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, head of CIS Indigenous Forum Nyunggai Warren Mundine and Tom Switzer. Later this year Australia will hold a referendum on whether to change the constitution to create an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders’ Voice to Parliament.Supporters for the Voice to Parliament believe that it will offer a formal platform for Indigenous peoples to express their views on policy matters, and that giving people a say will lead to more effective results. However, opponents would argue that it is already withing the Governments’ purview to deliver progress in closing the gap and that reform is needed.Is the Voice about giving Indigenous Australians a right to express their views on policy through representatives elected by their communities? Or would the Voice provide cover for an activist government to legislate radical policy?
