The Fight for a Voice: The road to the referendum

7am

About this episode

On October 14, we will be asked a question to which we must answer yes or no.

While the question itself is simple, the issues in and around the debate over the proposed alteration to the nation's founding document are anything but simple.

To understand how we got here and why we are voting on a Voice to Parliament, it’s important to understand what happened to ATSIC, the last consultative body for Indigenous people. Its failures drive the "No" campaign and its disbandment drives the "Yes" campaign.
