Recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in our Constitution –

Hi,
I’m really interested in this event however I live in Sydney and will not be able to attend. What I was wondering is if the speeches made at the seminar will be accessible to the public after the event?
Thank you in advance,
Jess
Hi Jess
Thank you for your interest in the event – I will be asking the speakers whether they will write an entry on our blog based on their speeches made at the event.
