Supporters of constitutional change have met in Uluru to mark the Statement from the Heart, released six years ago. It comes as National Reconciliation Week begins around the country. The referendum to recognise First Nations in the population was Australia's most successful yes vote - with more than 90 per cent support. Advocates are hopeful that the referendum will receive similar support as politicians debate on its legislation.
