The National Archives is the home of the Australian Constitution. This annual event is an opportunity to participate in discussions about constitutional issues confronting us today. The 2022 Forum invites Indigenous speakers to share their voices in a discussion about constitutional change and recognition.

In the last years, social upheaval, tragedy and achievement have prompted questions about the role of the Constitution in a modern and inclusive Australia.

ABC Radio National’s Big Ideas presenter Paul Barclay will be joined by an expert panel of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander speakers, including Thomas Mayor, Dr Hannah McGlade and Professor Megan Davis.

They will share their knowledge and experience to examine issues including constitutional recognition of Indigenous peoples and a Voice to Parliament.
