This essential Quarterly Essay seeks to do two things: to make the strongest, clearest possible case for the Voice to Parliament. And to draw out the significance and the promise of this reform what it could mean for recognition and justice. Megan Davis presents the Voice as an Australian solution to an Australian problem. For the First Nations, it is a practical response to "the torment of our powerlessness." Davis argues that it will increase accountability across a range of areas, from Juukan Gorge to youth detention to child protection. She shows that we have arrived at a "constitutional moment" that brings with it a new vision of Country and community. |
