UQ NAIDOC Week: 'Reflections on the Referendum' keynote lecture by Professor Megan Davis

This year’s NAIDOC Week theme for 2024 is "Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud", honouring the enduring strength and vitality of Indigenous cultures. Following the result of last year's Referendum, we are more driven than ever to keep the flame alight and the movement going with this keynote lecture, "Reflections on the Referendum" from distinguished constitutional lawyer and expert in public law, Professor Megan Davis.

At this significant event, Professor Davis will examine the political journey towards justice and human rights for Indigenous Australians in the aftermath of the Voice Referendum's result. Over six million Australians voted in favour of constitutional recognition, demonstrating continued support for the dialogue initiated by the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

Join us, alongside Professor Davis, as we charter a path forward and celebrate the resilience and enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

“We will never recover from this result, but we will move together as we now have six million new friends – the six million who voted yes.” - Professor Megan Davis.
