In Always Was, Always Will Be, award-winning author Thomas Mayo addresses the question that many Australians have been asking since the failed 2023 Voice to Parliament referendum, 'What's next?' Mayo draws in his decades of experience as an Indigenous advocate for justice, as he investigates the answer through clear, factual explanations and his own personal experiences. Always Was, Always Will Be is essential reading for those who want a nation where Indigenous Australians can expect the same quality of life as their non-Indigenous friends. It's for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who are ready to do everything they can to close the gap. Mayo illustrates how hope and motivation are the core ingredients for realising change. He guides us through the historical context that has led us to where we are today, and shares practical information and inspiring stories of hope, resilience and optimism. For the thousands of people who have been feeling sad, powerless and empty following the referendum result and the polarised politics of today, Always Was, Always Will Be is a positive rallying cry. This book will map the path towards the next steps to creating a fairer Australia.
