One year one from the Voice to Parliament referendum, Thomas Mayo reflects on what’s next for reconciliation in Australia.

At this special event recorded on Indigenous Literacy Day, activist Thomas Mayo shares a powerful reflection on the ongoing fight for justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the wake of the failed Voice to Parliament referendum.

Mayo draws on the messages outlined in his new book, Always Was, Always Will Be: The Campaign for Justice and Recognition Continues, which maps the path forward for Indigenous and non-Indigenous supporters of the Voice towards a better future for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Mayo is joined by host Shelley Ware and individuals who were involved in the referendum campaign - Rebecca McCann, Megan Baulch and Uncle Charles Panaka to explore how we can renew the momentum of reconciliation in Australia.
