Congratulations to Australian Judge Hilary Charlesworth on her re-election to the International Court of Justice for 2024-2033 - a testament to the high esteem in which Judge Charlesworth is held globally.
We thank Member States for their support.

A statement from Indigenous Australians who supported the Voice referendum. ulurustatement.org/a-stateme…
I'm voting YES because the Voice is constitutionally safe. More importantly, it addresses the gaping silence in our Constitution about the First Peoples of this land and our brutal colonial history of Indigenous dispossession.

I'm voting YES because the Voice came from a decades long consultative process and is supported by a majority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Speaking to the Aust’n people today from the open letter, signed by 70+ public law teachers from across the country, about how the Voice doesn’t introduce race or racialise the Constitution, but creates a positive & inclusive response to existing division vt.tiktok.com/ZSNFYjYsU/
Please share and use all of these resources in conversations with friends, family and colleagues about the referendum. With early voting open and 1 week to referendum day, it would be great for as many voters as possible to make an informed decision about their vote!

The team @theprojecttv created this great explainer of our letter, covering why the Voice proposal is not constitutionally risky and the importance of constitutional history in understanding the referendum. And talked to me and @Dylan_Lino about it. 4/6

Seventy constitutional law experts have penned an open letter to dispel some of the misinformation circulating surrounding the Voice to Parliament and the potential ramifications it would have. One of the experts @MaddyChiam joins us to explain.
Raf Epstein @abcmelbourne followed up with this interview, where we discuss about the motivation for the letter and the role of public law teachers in helping voters understand how government and the constitution work in Australia. 3/6
