Would an Indigenous Voice to Parliament give those in the community a right to be heard? Or would it be just “another symbolic representation”?
Bill Ramage asked: My name is Bill Ramage, I'm a proud Gomeroi and Yuin descendant and I don't want another symbolic representation in the constitution, we have been there before and achieved very little. I want equality in our country and community, I want our lives to matter, I want to see us have a voice in Parliament and I want that voice to not be a token but a voice to be heard and actioned upon. Ms Price your voice is that of your white political backers and I don't want our voice to be a “Yes Sir No Sir”. To both sides, why don’t you give us the voice we truly need? Don't deny us our simple human right to be heard.

Q&A is a television discussion program that focuses mostly on politics but ranges across all of the big issues that set Australians thinking, talking and debating.
It is driven by interaction: Q&A provides a rare opportunity for Australian citizens to directly question and hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum and Q&A is broadcast live so that not only the studio audience but also the wider audience can get involved.
We aim to create a discussion that is constructive, that reflects a diverse range of views and that provides a safe environment where people can respectfully discuss their differences.
It’s impossible to represent every view on a single panel or in one audience but we’re committed to giving participants a fair go.
In order to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, the program is presented from a range of locations around the country and all Australians are encouraged to get involved through social media as well as by joining the audience.
This is an official Australian Broadcasting Corporation KZitem channel.
