'ADELAIDE VOICES'


‘ADELAIDE VOICES’ is an independent, social justice newspaper published every two months.
Subscription:- $ 10.00 per year
Contact Editor: Adelaide Voices Inc, PO Box 6042, Halifax Street SA 5000, AUSTRALIA.

The ‘ADELAIDE VOICES’ presents opinions on community issues that are frequently ignored by the mainstream media.

The current edition contains two articles that especially have drawn my attention.
The first is an edited copy of a speech made by Prof. Fiona Stanley AC at the Adelaide Town Hall on 6/11/2008 about the need to acknowledge Aboriginal people as equal partners in addressing their problems and future.

The second is a speech by Julian Burnside QC at the University of SA on 13/11/2008 about the question of an Australian Federal Bill of Rights. In light of the events that have occurred in Australia during the last decade or so this issue is being looked at with a new perspective.

Both of these issues are about responsible Australian citizenship and very much worth reading and discussing.
