1 The Uluru Statement and the Promises of Truth Gabrielle Appleby , Megan Davis , 2018 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Historical Studies , vol. 49 no. 4 2018; (p. 501-509)

'On 26 May 2017, more than 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples gathered at the First Nations Constitutional Convention and issued the Uluru Statement from the Heart. This Convention was the culmination of an Indigenous-designed and -led process of regional dialogues across the nations designed to elicit from First Nations what meaningful constitutional recognition would mean to them. The deliberative dialogue process adopted by the Referendum Council sought to build an informed consensus across Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities on reform proposals. The Statement called for two key reforms: a voice for Indigenous peoples in the constitutional structure (the so-called ‘Voice to Parliament’) and a Makarrata Commission to supervise a process of agreement, or treaty-making, and a ‘truth-telling about our history’.' (Introduction)
