The Australian Greens will move again to amend the Australian constitution to formally recognise Indigenous Australians, said Australian Greens Leader Bob Brown today.
Indigenous leaders at the Garma festival in Arnhem land today have called on the Labor Government to honour a promise made by Kevin Rudd prior to the 2007 election.
"It is long past time Indigenous Australians were recognised in the supreme legal document of Australia as the first owners of this nation," said Senator Brown.
"The Australian Greens will move in Parliament to bring on a referendum to amend the constitution to include Indigenous Australians."
The Greens Senate candidate in the Northern Territory is Warren H Williams.
