"I was born at a time when the Australian Government knew how many sheep there were but not how many Aboriginal people. I was 10 years old before the 1967 referendum fixed that," she said, referring to the year Indigenous Australians were finally counted as citizens.
She told the story of her upbringing, included being negatively stereotyped by teachers and townspeople, and recognised the impact her position could have on inspiring young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. "If I can stand in this place, so can they — never let anyone tell you, you are limited by anything."
Linda Burney is vocal about being "committed to social justice and the feminist cause" and hopes to be "part of the parliament which sees the First Peoples recognised in our constitution."

Australia's government includes only one other Aboriginal member in the House of Representatives, Ken Wyatt AM who is of Yamatji, Wongi and Nyoongar heritage.
When Burney's speech was over, Wyatt, who represents the opposing Liberal party, gave her an emotional hug.
