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. A First Nations voice is
deeply in keeping with the culture, design and philosophy of
Australia’s federal Constitution, as well as the long history of
Indigenous advocacy for greater empowerment and self-determination
in their affairs. 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.
