Professor Stan Grant Jnr, in collaboration with Charles Sturt, has invited all Australians to take the Yindyamarra Pledge for Democracy.
The Pledge is a gift from the Wiradjuri people to all Australians that aims to unite the country in building a more inclusive and respectful democracy, and was launched in October 2022 in Canberra by Professor Grant with the support of Charles Sturt’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Mark Evans.
Professor Grant said the public discourse on democracy in Australia in the lead up to the 2023 referendum has led to a toxic environment, and taking the Pledge resets the conversation to a more respectful debate.
“I invite all Australians to take the Yindyamarra Pledge for Democracy. It’s an opportunity for all Australians to set aside their historic prejudices, adopt Gulbali values of respect, kindness, quiet reflection and justice and in the spirit of Yindyamarra, engage in respectful conversation and debate on the future of Australian democracy,” Professor Grant said.
