12 Months Since Voice Referendum
Council passed my motion on the 2023 referendum, where 6.2 million Australians voted Yes to support a Voice to Parliament, with Sydney voting 71% in favour, an incredible result driven by passionate activism. While the referendum didn’t pass, we remain committed to the principles of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, continuing to support the Voice, Treaty, and Truth, and fostering collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. I also want to congratulate Councillor Yvonne Weldon on her re-election and thank her for the vital work she does in representing these communities on the City of Sydney Council.
