The South Australian Parliament Sunday passed the First Nations Voice Bill 2023 in a special sitting.
The bill was bought before the South Australia Governor Frances Adamson by President of the Legislative Council Terry Stephens and Commissioner for the First Nations Voice Dale Agius for royal assent. Assent was given at a public ceremony held outside Parliament House, where thousands of Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander peoples and supporters gathered to witness the historic event.
The bill will enable elected representatives to directly address ministers and government departments on specific legislation and reforms which are of concern to the First Nations people of South Australia. South Australia Premier Peter Malinauskas stated, “South Australia has a history of doing the right thing first and setting an example for the rest of the country.”
South Australia Attorney General and Aboriginal Affairs Minister Kyam Maher recognised:
Representatives for the Voice are set to be elected later this year.
