Indigenous Australians call for substantive constitutional reform. Following a three-day meeting at Uluru, Indigenous Australian leaders have called for substantive constitutional reforms, including the establishment of an Indigenous representative body, rather than mere constitutional recognition. The meeting was organized by Australia's Referendum Council, an advisory body created by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and opposition leader Bill Shorten to guide the government toward a constitutional referendum on indigenous recognition.

Syrian groups agree to constitutional consultations.
