Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:30): I thank the Deputy Leader of the Opposition for her rhetoric. Let's be very clear here about what occurred. There was a constitutional convention. There was one established under the former government, in 2017, after a process, under Tony Abbott, to establish a working group who were charged with coming back to the Australian people about what form constitutional recognition should take. That was after John Howard, of course, and every other leader since, promised to promote constitutional recognition. In 2017— Mr Rick Wilson interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The Prime Minister will pause. The member for O'Connor: I've mentioned it a number of times. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition was heard in silence, and I'm asking for the same courtesy to be given to the Prime Minister. You'll leave the chamber under 94(a). The member for O'Connor then left the chamber. The SPEAKER: It's pretty simple. The Prime Minister will have the call and be heard in silence. Mr ALBANESE: After a process in 2017, First Nations people, through the Uluru Statement from the Heart, those eloquent 440 words, issued an invitation to Australians to walk with them on the form of recognition they sought, which was recognition through a voice. There were then processes established, including, under the former government, the Calma-Langton report and other processes, such as the joint committee chaired by Patrick Dodson and Julian Leeser, to progress this issue. I said, before the election, on a range of occasions, as did both leaders—Scott Morrison and Bill Shorten—prior to 2019, that there would be advance on these issues. I was at Garma when the Minister for Indigenous Australians, Ken Wyatt, said that there would be a referendum held. I was there in 2019. What occurred was that I fulfilled that commitment that I made. This wasn't out of convenience; it was out of conviction. I believe that when you make a commitment, including a commitment to Indigenous people, it should be fulfilled. I'll make this point. Across remote areas dominated by Indigenous communities, 'yes' recorded massive support: Wadeye, 92 per cent; the Tiwis, 84 per cent; Maningrida, 88 per cent; Mornington Island, 78 per cent; Yarrabah, 76 per cent; Palm Island, 74 per cent; and Leonora, 79 per cent. The fact is that it did not get— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister's time has concluded.
