Later this year, Australians will vote in a landmark referendum to decide whether to amend the Constitution to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and enshrine a Voice to Parliament. If successful, the change would establish a new advisory body, representing First Nations people across the country, to provide input and advice on a range of government policies and laws that affect their lives.
Registered nurse Connor Lynch is a Clinical Care Co-ordinator on the Acute Medical Unit at the Canberra Hospital. Like the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF), and many nurses and health organisation across the country, Connor is throwing his support behind a ‘Yes’ vote for an enshrined Voice to Parliament.
