About this episode
When Anthony Albanese became prime minister he imagined an optimistic future for his government.
Sensible reform in the first year that the public would warmly welcome, followed by boldly winning the first referendum since 1977.
But the reality is far from that. A win in the referendum is looking less assured than ever, while the cost of living crisis has almost everyone feeling miserable.
Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Chris Wallace on how economic pain is hurting the Voice campaign and what Labor will do if the referendum is lost.
