The Voice to Parliament Referendum Scenarios 2023
The Voice to Parliament Referendum Scenarios 2023 webinar discussion is based on what might be the potential impacts and implications on collaborations that involve First Nations and other Australians, leading up to, and beyond the Voice to Parliament Referendum.
