Thursday, November 8
A new series of concerts has been initiated in order to raise awareness and promote the need for recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Australian constitution. Being a proud Gurindji man, Dan Sultan will ensure that Rock for Recognition is one hell of a roof-raising concert event. Changing the actual constitution however will be a lot harder, with any change requiring a successful referendum. This was achieved in 1967 to recognise Australia's First Peoples as part of the Australian population, when more than 90% of voters said Yes to change. Performers: Dan Sultan, Leah Flanagan & DJ Ken Eavel. Doors 8pm. The Corner Hotel, 57 Swan St, Richmond. $30 pre booked.
