Fri Jul 19 2019
Law reform and public affairs

The Hon Murray Gleeson AM QC last night delivered a paper concerning Constitutional recognition of Indigenous Australians through the provision of a Voice to Parliament. The former Chief Justice of Australia said: "It is difficult to see any objection in principle to the creation of a body to advice Parliament about proposed laws relating to Indigenous affairs, and specifically about special laws enacted under the race power which, in its practical operation, is now a power to make laws about Indigenous people". A copy of the paper is available here.
