Special Series: Let's Talk Referendum

On Saturday 14th October 2023, there will be a referendum to change the constitution to enshrine a First Nations Voice to Parliament.

In this special series, host Karen Paterson will be talking to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with lots of different views on the proposal: from activists and academics to constitutional lawyers and community organisers. From big yarns around the dinner table, to speeches delivered at protest marches, and keynote lectures at universities: we know that mob across the country are trying to make sense of these proposals, and what to do about them.

So, if you’re still not sure what’s what, or if you just want to dig a bit deeper, then make yourself a cuppa and get stuck into this special series of Let’s Talk – Referendum.

This week on Let’s Talk…Referendum, Noel Pearson joins us to share his answers to many questions from Why does the Voice to Parliament come first? Why does the Voice to Parliament need to be constitutionally enshrined? How does Voice relate to Treaty & Truth? Do you see the Voice to Parliament as a vehicle for pushing for national treaties and truth-telling processes? He answers all these questions and much more.
