Indigenous parliamentarians from diverse First Nations hope they can work together across party lines to bring meaningful change
There are 11 First Nations members in the 47th parliament, and nine of them are currently standing outside Parliament House on a cold Canberra night.
Price says the occasion is significant and hopes they can work together to bring change for their constituents and communities. The longtime West Australian Labor senator Patrick Dodson says to be gathered together on the forecourt of Parliament House was “impressive”. He says he hoped that their presence in the parliament would bring meaningful change.
In the design, Indigenous people are meeting to talk and to enact ceremonial obligations. It’s a strong metaphor for the business of government, and their role in it.
