On Saturday, 14 October 2023, Australians will have their say in a referendum about whether to change the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing a body called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. In light of this, Clayton invited two Christian Aboriginal leaders to share their views on the referendum. He spoke to Safina Stewart, a Melbourne based Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander who is the Relationships and Storytelling Coordinator for Common Grace, who explained her reasons for voting yes. He then spoke to Reverend Dr Djiniyini Gondarra, a Dhurili Nation clan leader from the Northern Territory's Elcho Island and the current chairman of the Arnhem Land Progress Association (ALPA) and the country's first Aboriginal Methodist minister. He discussed why he doesn’t believe the referendum in the current form is the right way forward.
