Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) A First Nations Voice in the Australian Constitution 2020 by Shireen Morris
This book makes the legal and political case for Indigenous constitutional recognition through a constitutionally guaranteed First Nations voice as advocated by the historic Uluru Statement from the Heart. It argues that a constitutional amendment to empower Indigenous peoples with a fairer say in laws and policies made about them and their rights is both constitutionally congruent and politically achievable. Morris explores the historical political theoretical and international contexts underpinning the contemporary debate before delving into the constitutional detail to craft a compelling case for change.
