Episode description

Later this year we'll be voting in a referendum on the Voice, but how did it come about?

In this bonus episode we go into the history of the Voice: the Uluru Statement from the Heart. The Uluru Statement originally called for an Aboriginal voice to parliament. It came from a convention bringing together over 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders at the foot of Uluru.

We speak with Thomas Mayor who was one of the 250 signatories.  He’s written a book, Finding the Heart of the Nation, on his 18-month journey taking the statement all across Australia.
