Speaking from the Heart: Why Indigenous Australians Need a Voice - Pt 1

In this first part of a two part show, Nick Eckstein talks to Emeritus Professor Mark McKenna about Australia's upcoming referendum on an Indigenous Voice. How has the Australian Constitution silenced Australia’s First Peoples? What is the Uluru Statement from the Heart? Why does Australia need an Indigenous Voice to the Federal Parliament? This two-part show will try to make sense of the history behind these questions.

Voice-Overs: Professor James Curran; Dr Vanessa Witton.
