Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has encouraged Australians ‘to talk with First Nations people’ about the Voice but with only 3.2 per cent of the population identifying as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander in the 2021 census, it isn’t that easy.

On a trip in May to Katherine in the Northern Territory, I ask James, a Jawoyn guide at Katherine Gorge, also known as Nitmiluk (pronounced Nit-Me-Look) which means Land of the Cicada Dreaming, what he thinks of the Voice.
