Welcome to On Topic with the Weekend Briefing, a special series where Jamila Rizvi talks to some of her favourite guests - old and new - about a single, fascinating subject.

Over the next two months, you’ll hear from singers, writers, models, actors and change makers on topics as diverse as power and influence, mindset and money, bodies and brains. 

Today you’ll hear from Thomas Mayo, a Torres Strait Islander man who was born on Larrakia country in Darwin. Following the Uluru convention, Thomas was entrusted to carry the sacred canvas of the Uluru Statement from the Heart. 

In this chat with Jamila Rizvi, Thomas explains the upcoming referendum, his multi-year journey around the country to garner support and why he is boldly making the case for yes.
