In Australia this past week the Garma Festival has put the Uluru Statement back in the national news.  The Statement from the Heart composed by Australia’s Indigenous communities in May 2017 had the potential to move Australia’s constitutional relations with Indigenous peoples closer to New Zealand’s treaty model.  Its dismissal by the government has caused dismay and led the Australian Historical Association [AHA] to write an open letter to the PM.  We are an affiliate of the AHA and so in the interests of our members, the letter is now available on our News page.  You can read about the process of constitutional reform that resulted in the Statement on the Referendum Council website.
