Voice

One week til the referendum.

Did you know that you can vote early up at Bridge Darebin (another neighbourhood house) on High Street in Preston?

As you know our organisation is supportive of a Voice to Parliament to help close the gap for our First Nations friends, colleagues and neighbours in Australia. Neighbourhood houses have had a long standing commitment to implementing the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

It has been so heartening to walk the streets and see so many yes signs in gardens and stickers on cars etc. in our neighbourhood.

And in the interests of furthering positive conversations we currently have a big board up on our fence asking our community to share some of their reasons for voting yes. It has been great to see the answers.
