An unprecedented coalition of diverse peak religious organisations has gathered to call for bipartisan action to hold a referendum on a First Nations voice.
Representatives of the major religious groups of Australia on 27 May joined with highly acclaimed Australian filmmaker Rachel Perkins of the Arrernte and Kalkadoon Nations, at the Cutaway at Barangaroo in Sydney, as part of a live televised celebration to launch a Joint Resolution in support of a constitutionally guaranteed First Nations voice.
Held amidst the contemporary artwork of the 23rd Biennale of Sydney, titled rīvus, the event included a musical performance by Indigenous artist, Eric Avery, and marks the first time such diverse faith communities have taken a united stand in support of the Uluru Statement from the Heart and a First Nations voice guaranteed by the Constitution.
