Indigenous Australians demand the right to be held accountable for the policies that govern them, Voice to Parliament Yes campaigner, Noel Pearson has told a packed audience during the QUT Meanjin Oration in Brisbane. "We have to get to the point where it is legitimate to blame us," Mr Pearson said. "By all means blame us but give us a say in the decisions that are made about us before you do." QUT Chancellor Ann Sherry AO, Vice-Chancellor Professor Margaret Sheil AO, Queensland Human Rights Commissioner Scott McDougall, and community elders from across Queensland were among more than 600 who registered to hear constitutional lawyer and Indigenous rights champion Noel Pearson build a clear case for the Yes campaign in the upcoming Voice to Parliament national referendum.
