MUA Presents, COME WALK WITH US, with Special Guests Vicki Morta and Uncle Terry O'Shane.

You are invited to the launch of COME WALK WITH US produced by the Maritime Union of Australia about the journey of MUA member and seafarer, Vicki Morta and her quest to become an advocate for the Voice to Parliament. The film showcases the MUA’s long record of solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, from wharfie Fred Maynard who led the first all Aboriginal political Voice, the AAPA, to today supporting the Uluru Statement from the Heart and the referendum for its key proposal: a constitutionally enshrined First Nations Voice. We follow seafarer Vicky Morta on her personal journey as the first female Indigenous bosun, to her home to learn about her peoples history from her Elders, to the national stage where she has become a prominent champion in the ‘Yes’ campaign.

Acknowledgement of Country

Hunter Workers acknowledges the Awabakal, Worimi and Wonnarua Nations as the traditional custodians of Newcastle and the Hunter region, and recognises their continuing cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters, and seas.
We pay respect to the wisdom of the Elders past and present, and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders visiting this website.

Hunter Workers recognises that the Union Movement has not always upheld our defining principle of solidarity, having oftentimes excluded First Nations comrades historically. We are committed to the work of reconciliation.
