We, the undersigned, request that the National NAIDOC Committee and the Australian Parliament makes every possible political and social effort to lobby the Australian Parliament, to enact through legislation, that National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Day be made a national public holiday, in order to enable and encourage all Australians to recognise, acknowledge, respect, and celebrate the continuing survival and the rich cultural history of the First Australians, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as this has always been the desire and wishes of our Elders.

We, the undersigned, believe that such a symbolic action by the Australian Parliament will help achieve the following Reconciliation Vision which states ‘Our vision is for an Australia that recognises the special place and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians, values their participation and provides equal life chances for all.’

With the Rudd Governments apology, i think all Australians and more importantly Aboriginal People will benefit by having a National Public Holiday. Sign the petition brothers and sisters and get this happening!

Finally, along with Anzac day, a holiday worthy of reflection, hope and celebration.
