Jesse John Fleay (born 6 March 1990), is an Irish-Noongar born Australian academic.[1] and constitutional change advocate, involved in republicanism, and the Voice Treaty Truth[2] movement in Australia. Fleay was born in Viveash, Western Australia, the son of a single mother. He studied at Edith Cowan University in Mount Lawley and is enrolled in a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the School of Philosophy and Theology, University of Notre Dame in Fremantle. His PhD subject is republicanism, and the objectives set by the Statement from the Heart, which he contributed to the development of at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in Australia's Northern Territory. Fleay currently holds an academic position at Edith Cowan University and leadership positions regarding the Australian Republic.
Australian Fabian Society[edit]
Fleay was a National Representative in Western Australia, when the Australian Fabian Society was rebuilding. By the end of his involvement, the branch in WA became fully operational.[3] As an academic Fabian, Fleay has argued for fairer social justice, through compassionate economic distribution,[4] and has been fairly critical of global colonialism and its negative impact on Indigenous and other societies around the world, in his academic contributions to date [5][4][6].
Defence of Uluru Statement from the Heart[edit]
On 26 October 2017, Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, along with George Brandis and Nigel Scullion, rejected the Uluru Statement from the Heart as a radical change. Although Turnbull, Brandis and Scullion never provided a clear reason why the proposal should be rejected, they cited their disbelief at such a change ever being supported by Australians in a majority of states, despite initial support for such a change by news polls.[7][8][9] According to Fleay, "This criticism came, apparently ignorant of the fact that most Commonwealth nations—including New Zealand and Canada—have enacted far less conservative treaties with their First People, and none of these democracies have collapsed. The criticism also came with apparent unawareness of the fact that Australia remains the only Commonwealth nation without a treaty with its First People." [4][10]
Republicanism in Australia[edit]
Fleay's position is that a Voice to parliament for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians must precede a Treaty making process, and a Truth and Justice Commission, although all three are equally important. Fleay is also of the view that such a process must be an initiative of the Republic of Australia, and not HM Queen Elizabeth II, or any of her heirs or successors.
Specifically, Fleay argues that "Australia’s governors and governors-general, as delegates to the Head of State, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, her Heirs and her Successors, have the power to dissolve Parliament, sack prime ministers, declare war, and more. Advice is a higher power in the Australian Constitution that should not be underestimated. With its powers enshrined in the Constitution, the new body will exist as a new power in the formal politics of Australia."[4]
The Voice Treaty Truth movement was adopted two years after its inception as the 2019 theme for NAIDOC [11]
