Minister for Indigenous Australians Linda Burney says the defining moments of Indigenous people’s history have been when ordinary Australians have put their “shoulder to the wheel of history” and pushed it forward.“The 1938 Day of Mourning, the ’67 referendum, Wave Hill, Mabo, the Apology to the Stolen Generations, the 1997 reconciliation convention, the walks over bridges, the Redfern speech and of course, the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
“Everyone can make an act of reconciliation and sometimes it’s actually the humble moments that make the biggest difference, by telling the truth of our past – by finally recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our Constitution.”
