The Indigenous Recognition Referendum bill passes the Senate 52-19 after debate over several days. We now have the precise proposition to be put to referendum between 19 August and 19 December 2023. This is the first stage of becoming a republic by bringing everyone together to take the first steps to become a truly Reconciled Republic, so essential for the Republic’s eventual success. WfaAR wishes this endeavour well and earnestly supports a YES vote.
