The arguments for yes and no

Australians will be asked to vote “yes” or “no” to a constitutional amendment establishing a Voice to Parliament in October, so what are the arguments for and against the idea?

Who has the loudest voice on social media?

Support for the Voice to Parliament has fallen steadily over the past 12 months, despite a well funded media campaign and sympathetic coverage on the ABC and other media outlets, leaving its advocates with a hill to climb before the referendum in October.

Will the vote for the Voice unite or divide us?

The stakes in October’s referendum are high for politicians on both sides of the fence, not least Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton, and the country as a whole.

Australia to vote on October 14

Australians will go to the polls on October 14 to vote in a referendum on an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice in the first federal referendum since the Republic was voted down in 1999.

Support for the Yes campaign in the Voice Referendum continues to slump, and so it may be time for the government to publish a draft of the Bill it plans to put to parliament, should the referendum pass.
