SUMMARY:2026 Federation University Annual Reconciliation Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Federation University’s National Centre for Reconciliation\, Truth\, and Justice warmly invites you to the Annual Federation University Reconciliation Lecture: ‘ Beyond Reconciliation: What the Referendum Revealed’ presented by Scientia Professor Megan Davis AC \nIn the aftermath of the 2023 referendum\, there has been a restoration of the status quo: an anaemic reconciliation project\, a persistently unmet Closing the Gap framework\, and a turn toward self-referential and non-consequential truth processes. This lecture reflects on the 2023 referendum as a moment of political loss that sharpens\, rather than diminishes\, the case for constitutional recognition of First Nations peoples. The referendum did not mark the exhaustion of reform; it exposed the depth of the political\, institutional and civic work required to secure it.\nPolitical loss must not be mistaken for normative defeat; it instead demands a renewed commitment to constitutional recognition\, properly understood.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
