Establishing an Indigenous voice to parliament is favoured by 62 per cent of Australians according to a regularly conducted survey led by CQUniversity. Founded in 2008, The Australian Constitutional Values Survey, measured public attitudes towards establishing an Indigenous Voice to parliament in 2021. Lead researcher, CQUniversity s Dr Jacob Deem, said the survey results indicated substantial support for a First Nations Voice to parliament, with only 12.4 per cent against the idea. He said the May 2017 Uluru Statement was expressed as an invitation to walk with First Nations peoples on a journey towards recognition, which included the constitutional enshrinement of a voice to parliament as a crucial step.
A CQUniversity researcher hopes grazing cattle can help with the process that he coined ‘rewilding’.
Rewilding is the restoration of self-sustaining ecosystems, while minimising human intervention, to return an area to its natural state and promote threatened species to thrive.
CQUniversity Adjunct Professor Iain Gordon argued domestic livestock could actually support the process, in a recent study published in the international Sustainability journal. Professor Iain Gordon at a recent Gladstone Healthy Harbour Partnership event in Gladstone.
The renowned zoologist, who is based in Townsville, has worked across Africa, Asia, South America, Europe and Australia.
He explained ‘Rewilding Lite’ was a less extreme version of the popular movement which included ‘wildlife-friendly farming’, meaning domestic grazers gradually allowed environmental conditions to become wilder while still producing cattle.
