Dr Maria Bargh speaks at the Australian National University Governance Forum
Head of School/Tumuaki of Te Kawa a Māui Dr Maria Bargh was invited to speak at the Australian National University Governance Forum held at Old Parliament House, Canberra. The Forum considered First Nations governance reform in Australia and the experiences of Indigenous people in comparable jurisdictions including Aotearoa (New Zealand), Canada, USA and Scandinavian countries.
The Forum built on the extensive work undertaken on this issue including the Report of the Expert Panel on Recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the Constitution (2012), the Report of the Joint Select Committee on Constitutional Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples (2015) and the Uluru Statement from the Heart (2017).
The Forum was hosted with the support of Australia's Federal Indigenous parliamentarians, Indigenous leaders, academics, government, leading international policy makers and other interested stakeholders.
Maria's speech starts at 18:08
