    we don’t know what the precise outcome will be.

    Partially true but, as I have said in my reply to this comment, the proposed constitutional amendment contains this line

    In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia

    which is clear symbolic recognition of the importance of Indigenous peoples and their culture to the history of Australia. Regardless of what the advisory body looks like or achieves, constitutional recognition would be a clear positive outcome in the result of a Yes vote. It is important to many Indigenous Australians, but it should also be seen as important to all Australians as we continue to mature as a nation and move forward from our bloody colonial past.
