'The article offers information on the agreement related to the Uluru statement. Topics include that the Uluru Statement proposed Indigenous voices, on Indigenous Australians' behalf; Statement from the Heart has been mistaken for poetry, and it certainly can inspire, as the best manifestos do, but it sprouts from the fire-readied seeds of public policy reform; and discusses that proposal had been based not on any polling, but simply on the fact most referendums have been unsuccessful.'
