A dream that cannot be denied
In October 2017 the federal government rejected proposals for a Voice to Parliament called for in the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
Here, to mark the third anniversary of that rejection, Thomas Mayor, a stalwart champion of its cause, uncovers the deep roots of Aboriginal protest and resistance that fed into the Statement as he traces the long walk to Freedom Day.

In the final instalment of our series examining the kaleidoscopic impacts of this year of the pandemic, Rachel Maher reflects on shared experiences across apparent divides.
