Description
When Anthony Albanese declared victory in last year’s election, one of the first commitments that he made was to implement the Uluru Statement from the Heart in full.

Professor Gary Foley, senior lecturer of history at Victoria University, on self-determination, the lessons we should take from history and his hope for genuine change.
