Professor Marcia Langton AO joins us to discuss The Indigenous Voice to Parliament Referendum, what it is, how it will work and why it is a crucial step towards reconciliation. Marcia is a leading academic and Indigenous spokesperson who has held the foundation chair of Australian Indigenous Studies at the University of Melbourne since February 2000. She is a powerful advocate for Indigenous rights, working as a consultant to a range of government and non-government organisations, and has served on a number of committees and advisory bodies. 

She has published widely on a range of Aboriginal affairs issues including land rights, the mining industry and indigenous communities, resource management and the social impacts of development. In recognition of her contributions to Indigenous scholarships and advocacy, Marcia was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 1993.
