as early as parliament has introduced a bill that paved the way for a referendum to recognise indigenous people in the constitution for the 1st time government calls it a new chapter in repairing the relationship with the 1st nations. people was also cause divisions. a sarah clark reports from brisbin. if not now, when an emotional prime minister unveiled the wording of the question that will go to the australian people later this year, flanked by members of the indigenous community on thursday, those words were tabled in the nation's parliament. seaman history. i trust the australian people to understand that this is an opportunity for a better future. not just for the 1st people sort of struggle. but for all astronomy. if australia votes yes, in the proposed referendum, but only with the constitution, the amended to recognize the 1st nations people for the 1st time. it would also enshrined an advisory body to parliament made up of aboriginal and torres strait
12:12 pm
islanders to guide federal policy. but some lawmakers say the voice is symbolic only, and australians should vote no black people in this country been calling out government for 200 years on what i can be doing better for. and we still have no justice and i don't see the voice and giving us justice. center to thorpe is one of 11 parliamentarians who identify as indigenous australians, the nation's federal parliament, australia's aboriginal population makes up 3 percent of the nearly 26000000 people . critic say issues like racism and aboriginal dis in custody needs to be prioritized. we have black body east and dying hands of the system and we have solutions to. i'm this catastrophe crisis that's been going on. i guess 1st nations people for far
12:13 pm
too long. that big government and the previous government just are not interested in implementing constitutional lawyers remain divided on whether this could lead to government decisions being challenged in the nation's high court. it's possible they will be high court matters arising out of this, but you'd have to side that's entirely normal. we are looking at putting words into the constitution. the high courts job is to interpret the constitution. this is the 1st random beheld in 24 of the 44 held of the last century or so. i have been successful. the prime minister says this legislation provides a one to generation charts to rectify the referendum is expected to be held and you don't talk about algebra. there is a baldwin, roberts is see the campaign group get up. she joins us now live from brisbin. good to have you with us. what do you think of this referendum and was it proposes
12:14 pm
i think i feel like regardless of what i think is the best stations woman, we are going to a referendum i i'm, you know, i'm really interested. i know that the wording got brought into power today, but that is, you know, the would be advisory group or the working group to the referendum. but that doesn't mean that is what it will pass through. it's going to get through by that. but how parliament and you know, hopefully the amendment doesn't get what again, so i feel like as a woman at the political organization in the country, we are watching very keenly to say what gets met through parliament. and we, you know, many expressions to the government that we don't want to be down to symbolic constitutional recognition. not a lot of fights that regardless of what these, this body looks like that if we can have the nation's people, what come out in the principal, the other wake positions, people electing, the people that were represented. i do believe that it can, that can create change and really change the conversations we're having in this
12:15 pm
country. what about people who are critical of it? a consultative committee is giving non binding advice to a government really doesn't give you much of a voice. do you agree with that? i think that's really complicated because i think that when people hear the word advisory, they think that this is an advisory body or a reference group in those types of things. but really the, the body in terms of rides or is a constitutional function and, and i think that's really important around what way make representations to the government. you know, i would have been looking for a cam as a campaign of for many, many years and constantly. we are asked by community to have a state of the table and to have a sigh over the, the tops of laws and that sort of stuff that people and that the governments make about us. and there's a lot of hesitation in our communities right now. but i do think it is really important that you know, the principles of, of that, of that being an elected body. but also the fact that we get to choose what we
12:16 pm
think going on either prime minister out came out last week and he was making some, some comments about the said god mechanism and, and climate change in those types of thing. and someone was like, well, what about the voice and you know, what role would it have? and i think it, he kind of bumbled through the question met. but really, it's up for us to decide what, what advice we give the pop of the parliament and climate change absolute. i think that 1st nations people are globally on the front lines and, and have a lot of solutions on. and that absolutely does affect us. and should be showing that the voice can impressions about what a vi issues that gets helped you. i don't your organization as identified as that many 1st nations people can't actually vote. so what are the issues there? there is an incredible amount of barriers dividing in this country. you know, the amendments that are going through the parliament today really do not all going to do in the parliament today. really did not address the over decade over the suppression that's been happening in our country. i think there's
12:17 pm
a lot of work that needs to be done to get our mob on the roles. but also the system of government is not something that the system is voting and getting involved in intellectual is not something that our communities have been a part of. why would we say like, not we have compulsory writing, but we feel like something like a non, he's you know, high non, he's in the general population when it comes to our population is under. you know, it's just below 70 percent. i think between 6530 percent that actually cut out by elections that incredibly low. and you know, i feel like when we talking about, you know, in our legislation we go out and there is, you know, the electro trend lighting different things into other languages. a lot of people don't know that the legislation behind that means no legislation for translation into indian languages. even if you have that during the referendum, those words that will be in the pamphlet for the referendum don't directly translate into languages. so how we explain this to them and giving it, giving them access in, you know, for awfully said to the labor government. this is
12:18 pm
a really big red line for whether or not to give up movement can, can paint this thing because there is a diversity of use. but there are also so many barriers that used to, i'm getting even acting within the actual processor. ok, we're going to talk to robert. thanks very much for joining us on out of there. thank you. sarah has her on out to sarah drains and robots and automobile. so chris hes of shiny new electric tech had his annual mobility shame. ah hello, we have a little more rainy the forecasts across indo china at present, particularly into cambodia. little larry or a cloud here bringing some heavier burst in across the southern parts of the rate of vietnam. seeing some showers to fill wet weather will be in 2 central and southern parts of cambodia. having said that,
