$20.00 Inc GST

In Always Was, Always Will Be, bestselling author Thomas Mayo investigates ‘what’s next?’ for reconciliation and justice in Australia after the failed October 2023 Voice to Parliament referendum.

Since the referendum, supporters and volunteers have been asking for guidance as to how to continue to support Indigenous recognition. Mayo, a leader of the Yes 23 campaign and co-author of the bestselling The Voice to Parliament Handbook, has penned a new book to answer that question.

Always Was, Always Will Be is essential reading for those people who want to keep the positive momentum going and the number of allies growing. It’s for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who are ready to do everything they can to close the gap.

On writing the book Mayo said: ‘The book starts with the ingredients for hope, it will cover the lessons from the past, and ultimately, Always Was, Always Will Beis about the future we want to see – one where there is justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.’

For the thousands of people who have been feeling sad, empty and powerless since last October, Always Was, Always Will Be aims to be a positive rallying cry. This book will map the path toward next steps on how to create a fairer Australia.

Essential reading for those who want to know ‘what’s next?’ after the October 2023 Voice to Parliament referendum, from one of the most respected Indigenous voices in the country.
