First Nations

Music in support for the Voice referendum 

Something a bit different for your resource toolbox.

Monica Brown - Emmaus Productions

You may or may not know Monica's music ministry. She is one of our country's well respected Catholic/Christian composers who has been ministering for over 40 years through the not-for-profit organization of Emmaus Productions.  

Below are the resources for two special songs composed by Monica concerning some of the issues at the heart of the upcoming Referendum. The songs, One People One Land and Spirit Dream are known and loved by many indigenous and non-indigenous Australians across the nation. 

Monica has waived all copyright restrictions of the songs by way of setting the songs free to contribute in some way to this critical national discernment.  

One People One Land

Spirit Dream

If you believe the songs could be beneficial in discernment around the Referendum, we would be grateful if you would send them your member organisations and contacts.

You may even find the songs suitable to add to your resources page on your website feature on the referendum or some other place where people can access the songs.

If you would like to contact Emmaus Productions' Australian Office to discuss further, please call Kim Baynie on 0419990038.

A Song for The Voice

Peter Branjerdporn, ACSQ, has written a song (with the help of Michelle McDonald, ACSQ) to soften people's hearts towards the First Nations Voice to parliament. He graciously offers this song in love and humility to every Australian.

Please feel free to share for people to use in sermons, presentations, conversations and workshops anywhere. It is unbranded and hosted on Peter's own YouTube channel so that any group can use it.
