Majority of Australians ‘don’t know enough’ about Indigenous people

Former Referendum Working Group member Sean Gordan has reflected on the Voice referendum amid its one-year anniversary. “The reality is we didn’t count that the large majority of Australia just don’t know enough about us,” Mr Gordan told Sky News Australia. “The challenge moving forward is how do we ensure that we bring non-Aboriginal people into our communities … so that they better understand who we are. “We’ve got to set up structures that empower local people to have a greater say on the programs, policies and the resources to ensure that you get better outcomes.”
