Should we have a statement that acknowledges the First Peoples of Australia?
Yes. This should be in the Constitution.
Do you have any other comments on a statement about the First Peoples of Australia?
It is an absolute disgrace that our indigenous people have been left out of our constitution and the sooner this happens the better!
Should the word 'race' be taken out of the Constitution?
Yes
Do you have any other comments on powers to make laws for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples?
Too many of our young indigenous people are ending up in jail because of the total disfunction in their lives, lack of education, and the lack of hope in a future for themselves. This must change with indigenous children being empowered through education
