Ultramarathon runner Pat Farmer has ended a 8,950-mile run at the central Australian sandstone landmark Uluru after a seven-month journey to raise public support for the creation of an Indigenous advocacy body in the constitution
Ultramarathon runner Pat Farmer ended a 14,400-kilometer run at the central Australian sandstone landmark Uluru on Wednesday after a seven-month journey to raise public support for the creation of an Indigenous advocacy body in the constitution. Australians will vote on Saturday at a referendum that would enshrine in the constitution a so-called Indigenous Voice to Parliament, a mechanism for Indigenous Australians to advise lawmakers on policies that effect their lives.
The former lawmaker's run began in Hobart on the island state of Tasmania on April 17 and traversed every Australian state as well as both mainland territories. Uluru has special significance in the campaign to create the Voice as a means of acknowledging Indigenous Australians in the constitution. The Voice was recommended in 2017 by a group of 250 Indigenous leaders who met at Uluru.
