The current national debate in Australia around an Indigenous Voice to Parliament takes on added significance for us as we approach this year's Ikara-Ediacara Leadership Experiences in May and July. The aspiration of the Voice, as described in the 'Uluru Statement from the Heart', is a 'fair and truthful relationship' between the people of Australia and First [...]
In Tim Winton’s autobiographical book The Boy Behind the Curtain, he describes, as a nine-year-old, being in a car with his father one night when they came upon a motorcycle accident.
