A First Nations Voice in the Australian Constitution de Shireen Morris

A First Nations Voice in the Australian Constitution

Autor Shireen Morris
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 feb 2022
This book makes the legal and political case for Indigenous constitutional recognition through a constitutionally guaranteed First Nations voice, as advocated by the historic Uluru Statement from the Heart. It argues that a constitutional amendment to empower Indigenous peoples with a fairer say in laws and policies made about them and their rights, is both constitutionally congruent and politically achievable. A First Nations voice is deeply in keeping with the culture, design and philosophy of Australia's federal Constitution, as well as the long history of Indigenous advocacy for greater empowerment and self-determination in their affairs. Morris explores the historical, political, theoretical and international contexts underpinning the contemporary debate, before delving into the constitutional detail to craft a compelling case for change.

Recenzii

Shireen Morris combines her insight from her first hand involvement in the practical struggle for Aboriginal constitutional recognition with a scholarly legal analysis of the possibilities and pitfalls entailed in a range of options. This book provides essential ballast to the debate, explaining why we have got here, which routes have been closed off and what still needs to be done.
Shireen Morris draws on her unique combination of legal scholarship and political advocacy to put forward the case of reason and compromise in order to recognise Indigenous Australians in the Australian Constitution in a way that respects both Indigenous aspirations and the constitutional concerns of people across the political spectrum. In this ongoing conversation about constitutional reform, scholars and statesmen alike should take heed of the compelling voice of moderation that Shireen Morris brings to an otherwise fraught discussion - a discussion that desperately needs the insights of a book like this.
(Praise for the author's previous writing) Shireen Morris has been one of the most passionate and courageous advocates for Indigenous people and their overdue recognition in the Australian Constitution. Anyone who has followed the debate will know of Shireen's articulate and persuasive advocacy . [she] shows that reconciliation is not just about black and white. It's the responsibility of all Australians.
