(MENAFN- The Conversation) Last week on this podcastwe talked to Ken Wyattabout the government's plan for a referendum – hopefully this parliamentary term – to recognise Indigenous Australians in the Constitution.
This week, we continue the conversation on Indigenous recognition with Megan Davis, a law professor and expert member of a key United Nations Indigenous rights body on the debate about anIndigenous 'Voice'which has followed Ken Wyatt's announcement.
'At this point the only viable option for constitutional reform is this proposal for a Voice to parliament,' says Megan Davis.
Megan Davis is currently in Geneva for a meeting of the UN body she sits on, where she says this issue will be raised among other issues which Australian Indigenous people face.
Australia's reputation on the international stage has had a number of issues such as 'incarceration[…]the conditions of young people in youth detention[…][and] the numbers of child removals'.
