Indigenous advocate dialogue
Committee for Gippsland CEO Tony Cantwell said the event offered an opportunity for Gippslanders to be part of an important conversation and hear from someone with the experience and calibre of Noel Pearson. "Having served as a member of the Expert Panel on Constitutional Recognition of Indigenous Australians and the Referendum Council, Mr Pearson is also currently a member of the First Nations Referendum Working Group and continues to advocate for structural reforms to empower Indigenous people."
"We are pleased to be able to partner with GLaWAC in hosting this event and look forward to seeing people from across the region join us on the night," Tony said.
GLaWAC CEO Daniel Miller said the event was a great opportunity to welcome Noel Pearson from the Guugu Yimithirr community of Hope Vale to Gunaikurnai country. "This is a great opportunity for industry leaders and the broader community across Gunaikurnai Country to better understand the views and aspirations of Traditional Owners," Daniel said.

For more than 30 years, Mr Pearson has pursued key agendas to achieve land rights and socioeconomic development outcomes for Cape York. He co-founded the Cape York Land Council and negotiated with the Keating government to establish the Native Title Act 1993 after the High Court's landmark Mabo decision rejected the fiction of terra nullius.
