Statement supports yes vote

The Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Corporation (GLaWAC) board unanimously voted to support a "yes" vote in the referendum to include recognition of an Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the Constitution.
The GLaWAC position statement states:
"GLaWAC supports the Federal Government's commitment to recognise the First Peoples of Australia through a change to the Constitution, while respecting the individual views held by our members and their right to vote how they choose.
"We want to acknowledge that the Referendum to recognise First Australians through a Voice to Parliament is only one pillar in the step to support broad institutional reform at the Commonwealth level.
"The organisation continues to work tirelessly toward a self-determining future for Gunaikurnai people, and we welcome any opportunity to strengthen our mob's cultural, spiritual and physical needs."
The board said it respected the individual views of its members and encourages all Australians to "consider the impacts that a no vote will have on First Nations people and the nation."
"Our mob want a greater say in the issues that are important to us regarding culture, country, and the social and economic wellbeing of Gunaikurnai people," GLaWAC stated.
