"It’s one year since the failed referendum to enshrine a First Nations Voice to
Parliament in the Australian Constitution.

The vote represents a moment of deep sadness and frustration for many First
Nations people for the lost opportunity to move towards meaningful change in
our lives, communities and for our futures. Many elders and old people will
likely not live to see change.

I was one of the many people in the Uluru Dialogue at UNSW who worked last year
across the country educating on and advocating for the constitutional change. I
spoke to communities across New South Wales, Victoria and the ACT, from Boorowa
to Melbourne.

I not only saw the campaign first-hand, I also have read every think piece
imaginable in the 12 months since about why the referendum failed."
