Pride in Protest
Truth, Treaty and Trickery | Provocations 2023
"Truth, Treaty and Trickery" was the title of the first forum of Pride in Protest's Provocations conference, which happened on the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of July 2023.
This forum will answer questions about the political roots of the Voice. Why is it being pushed so heavily and by whom? What does the Voice actually mean for the sovereignty movement?
Hear from Keiran Stewart-Assheton, Yuin man and the National President of the Black Peoples Union (or the BPU), and Seth, a member of the Australian Student Environmental Network and Black Flag Sydney, to understand how this constitutional process ultimately undermines Treaty, land rights, and Sovereignty—offering Aboriginal people no social, political, or economic power.
Attendees of the forum were advised to explore the BPU's Voice class held earlier this year, to better understand the problems of the Voice to Parliament.
