We have been offered an invaluable opportunity to have an online forum with Noel Pearson to hear about the Yes Campaign for the Voice Referendum.

This invitation is available to all Monastics, lay supporters and Buddhist organisations across Australia to join, participate, ask questions and learn about the importance of the Voice Referendum to our Indigenous brothers and sisters.

We hope the Buddhist Councils and a number of organisations will organise a local viewing hub to the event and that active participation is encouraged.

The event will be on 10th August at 7.30pm AEST and will broadcast live across all States. Please save this date and time in your diary and we will shortly publicise the broadcasting channel.

We are identifying one or two interviewers to initially put your questions to Noel before taking additional questions online.

Please send your questions to ‘asacommunicate@gmail.com’.
