On Saturday October 14 there will be a Federal Referendum held to vote on a Voice to Parliament.
While this is a national process, not related to the NSW Parliament, we know that many in our community will be keen to actively engage.
That’s why we have put together a page with links to the resources and information to ensure our Newtown community is connected and has the details they need.
We also acknowledge that this is a particularly challenging time for First Nations people - with ongoing commentary in the media and community fueling racism, division and discrimination.
We acknowledge that the land that our electorate office and the NSW Parliament is on is Gadigal Land - that it was stolen and never ceded - and that it always was, and always will be, Aboriginal Land.
