At its 20 September Council meeting, Bega Valley Shire Council considered an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament.
Council acknowledges its role as an information provider and facilitator of community discussions.
There are clearly differences of opinion on the referendum across the country and in our own community. However, one of the great things about Australia is we are all entitled to our own opinion.
It’s important to respect each other’s opinion and us to vote whichever way we please, without fear of retribution.
Council agreed it was not our role to financially support or advocate for a specific position regarding the Voice to Parliament.
