Professor Megan Davis and Henry Burmester QC AO presented the work of the Expert Panel on the Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Australian Constitution to a packed lunchtime session of lawyers from AGS (Australian Government Solicitors).
The lunchtime seminar in Canberra held on June 30, provided a history of advocacy for constitutional change since 1967 and explored some of the obstacles to a successful referendum.
In particular the session focused on the importance of the Panel’s proposed s 116A, a non-discrimination clause in the Constitution as a form of recognition.
