The Voice referendum discussion hosted by Seymour & District U3A

Tuesday, September 5 from 1.30pm at the Salvation Army Hall, 8/10 Victoria St, Seymour

A facilitated discussion on this important issue, taking into account both the Yes and the No perspectives. The talk will clarify what this Voice would look like, what powers it would have and what it would it mean for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous citizens.

Sarah Brenan, editor of several indigenous books, has offered to lead a discussion on this important issue. It is an opportunity to raise any concerns that you may have, clarify your thoughts and make an informed choice.

Organisers encourage attendees to read the Uluru Statement from the Heart beforehand at https://ulurustatement.org/

This talk is free, open to the public and everyone is welcome. Join for a respectful exploration.
