About this episode
A scare campaign is gathering momentum in the conservative media.
Will the Voice to Parliament dictate policy? Are elite interests behind the referendum? And does it threaten the integrity of the constitution?
These are the questions being asked by conservative commentators, mostly in the Murdoch-owned national newspaper.
But The Australian wasn’t supposed to be opposed to the referendum – there was a time when it was one of the Voice’s biggest allies.
Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper and author of a book on the Murdoch empire, Paddy Manning, on how the dream of conservative support for the voice is in troubled waters.
