Position Statement:

Humanists Australia supports the Uluru Statement from the Heart

The Uluru Statement from the Heart is the culmination of 13 Regional Dialogues with First Nations Peoples which arrived at a consensus about what constitutional recognition should look like.

The Statement is an invitation from First Nations Peoples to all Australians, to walk with them in a movement of the Australian people for a better future.

Humanists Australia supports the three key elements of the Uluru Statement from the Heart:

• Voice: We hear and support the call for the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution to empower First Nations peoples.

• Treaty: We hear and support the call for a Makarrata Commission to supervise treaty negotiations.

• Truth: We hear and support the call for the Makarrata Commission to oversee a process of truth telling about our history.

Humanists Australia accepts the invitation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart and supports a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Australian Constitution.
