Supporting the Uluru Statement from the Heart and working towards greater understanding of the effects of colonisation through local truth-telling and education, led by First Nations people.
One year on: Reflections on the Referendum
On October 12, 2024, we gathered for a powerful afternoon of reflection, marking one year since the Voice Referendum.
Hosted by Uncle Gerry Moore OAM, the event featured a thought-provoking conversation with Pat Anderson AO and Geoff Scott from the Uluru Dialogues, along with Cleone Wellington from the Chief Executive Leadership Team of Waminda, South Coast Women’s Health and Wellbeing Aboriginal Corporation. The conversation was expertly moderated by John-Paul Janke from NITV.
Presented by the Uluru Dialogues and Shoalhaven Walking Together Alliance, the panel engaged in a meaningful discussion on the outcomes of the 2023 referendum and explored the next steps for the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Mudjingaal Yangamba, the Koori women’s choir, sang in Dhurga, one of the original languages spoken on the South Coast and the event began with a moving Smoking Ceremony by Gadhungal Marring.
It was a memorable day of sharing, learning, and looking ahead to the future. Thank you to everyone who joined us.
