Community members and allies join Aboriginal Leaders Final Call for “Yes”

“Am here as a non-Aboriginal Australian to support the Aboriginal community of Victoria and all over Australia because I just believe that having recognition in our constitution is the right thing to do. It is fair. Aboriginal Australians should have been recognised in our constitution already. The absence of recognition is a problem for all of Australia. It is not an Australia that I want to live in where non-Aboriginal Australians don’t want to recognise the First Peoples of this country.” – Anna Gibson

"The vote doesn’t take anything from non-Aboriginal Australians. All it does is give something to Aboriginal Australians; something that we should all be supporting." - Anna Gibson (ally)

Hundreds of Aboriginal Leaders, community members and allies gathered at Federation Square in Melbourne in an event dubbed “It’s time to make history”: Aboriginal Leaders Call for “Yes”.

The mass gathering was convened by the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO) this Thursday October 12 at Federation Square in Melbourne.
