Voices gallery

Take a journey through the history of the Australian Constitution and the rights and freedoms it guarantees.

The Constitution provides the legal framework for how we live together as Australians. It’s also about the values and aspirations we share. So how was it written, and how can it be updated to reflect changing times and attitudes?

You’ll also learn about the troubled history of constitutional discrimination against First Australians and historical and ongoing attempts to create change.
