Invitation to Law Council of Australia’s 2023 Referendum Webinar

01/09/2023

The Law Council of Australia invites members of the Australian legal profession to attend a Referendum webinar on Wednesday, 20 September 2023 from 12.00pm to 1.30pm. The webinar will be a panel discussion moderated by Mr Luke Murphy, Law Council President, featuring Professor Dr Megan Davis, the Hon Kenneth Hayne AC KC, Professor Cheryl Saunders AO, and President-Elect Mr Greg McIntyre SC. The Law Council aims to ensure that lawyers across Australia - and by extension their communities and networks - are accurately informed about the 2023 Referendum process and question. The webinar will include information on the origins, purpose, and constitutional implications of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, and will also explain the rationale for the Law Council’s support for the Voice, and outline a position on key legal issues raised in public discourse about the Voice.

You can also submit questions that you would like the panellists to answer on the 2023 Referendum process, the question posed, or implications, by no later than 6 September 2023.

Please note this is an open event for members of the Australian legal profession and you are encouraged to share this invitation widely with your networks within the profession.
