First Nations people deserve 'real power and action' rather than Indigenous Voice to Parliament
Thousands of people have attended Invasion Day rallies across Australia, where speakers addressed a number of issues for First Nations peoples, including the proposed Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
Greens senator and DjabWurrung Gunnai Gunditjmara woman Lidia Thorpe was met with cheers from the public in Melbourne when she said Indigenous Australians deserved "real power and action" rather than the proposed Voice.
A referendum on whether to constitutionally enshrine the advisory body is due to be held later this year but Thorpe said First Nations people deserve something more powerful.
