Patrick Dodson makes his case for the Voice
Description
Today’s episode is a very special edition of Weekend Read.
Patrick Dodson is a respected Aboriginal elder, a federal Senator, and widely known as the Father of Reconciliation.
He is a fierce advocate for the Voice to Parliament, but Patrick Dodson has spent most of the campaign out of the spotlight, while he undertakes cancer treatment for his recent diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Recently, Senator Dodson was able to record this episode in his country, the lands of the Yawuru people, in Broome, Western Australia.
In this episode, Patrick Dodson reads his moving piece from a recent edition of The Monthly about his lifelong fight for a better Australia.
We would like to thank the staff in Patrick’s office for making this possible.
Patrick will now read his piece, ‘A firelight stick on the hill’.
