dc.description	Now, fifty years on from that Referendum, there is another opportunity for genuine and substantive reform to the Australian Constitution. Ms Anderson describes her recent work as a member of the Referendum Council, and her experience of the unique regional Dialogues, culminating in the National Convention of First peoples at Uluru in May this year, and the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Ms Anderson tells how these forums overwhelmingly endorsed substantive change to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to take their rightful place in the country. In particular, she examines one of the key demands to emerge from the Dialogues and from Uluru, namely amending the constitution to establish a permanent representative body that would give First Nations a Voice directly to the Federal Parliament.	en_AU
