Why are we a nation that has not yet recognised the First People, and what can we do to take action?

Teela Reid, proud Wiradjuri and Wailwan woman, lawyer and the University of Sydney's inaugural Indigenous Practitioner-in-Residence, examines the hard questions that cut to the legitimacy of our democracy on the eve of the fifth anniversary of Uluru Statement from the Heart. 

Teela was joined in a conversation moderated by Billi FitzSimons, Editor of The Daily Aus. 

Professor Simon Bronitt, Head and Dean of Sydney Law School, introduced the event and a Welcome to County provided by Michael West from Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council (MLALC). You can view the full event via the Sydney Ideas website: https://bit.ly/3x7mrJp
