Aboriginal and Torres Strait representatives continue their calls for a referendum that would see them gain representation in parliament, and a voice in policy and legislation impacting their lives.

Recent calls for a voice to parliament were dismissed by the then Priminister Malcolm Turnbull as undemocratic.

While these comments are disheartening for those advocates, efforts continue.
