1 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,239 Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to a very special episode of 2 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: The Daily OS. It's Monday, the ninth of October. I'm 3 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: Zara and every day this week Tom will be bringing 4 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: you The Voice Explained, which is a series will be 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,479 Speaker 1: running up until the referendum on Saturday. It's something that 6 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 1: we are really really proud of, so we hope that 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: you enjoy. 8 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 2: The question you'll be asked to vote on on October 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 2: fourteen is do you support adding an Aboriginal Antirest Island 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 2: voice to Australia's constitution? 11 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: Do you approve this proposed alteration? 12 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 2: That's the question. In one sense, our task is simple 13 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: deciding between yes and no. But the debate has been messy. 14 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 3: I worried about it that country, and. 15 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: It's left a lot of people confused. Ben So this 16 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: week I'm going to cut is. I'll take you across 17 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: the country. I'm Tom Crowley reporting on Yoweri country. Yes 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 2: and no perspectives straight from the source. 19 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: And I'm optimistic that Australians will vote. Yet, whatever the 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 3: outcome is, the nation will be bruised. 21 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 2: And show you a range of First Nations perspectives. 22 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 3: We need change now, will I don't trust the government 23 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 3: why should. 24 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 4: I Our children are voiceless, our women are voiceless. 25 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 2: Episode one, The Road to the Voice. There are plenty 26 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: of places that we could start this story, but let's 27 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 2: go right back. For at least sixty thousand years, these 28 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: lands have been home to a collection of distinct cultural 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: and language groups that we call the First Nations. About 30 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty years ago, British colonizers arrived, and 31 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: in the years that followed it's estimated that as much 32 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: as ninety percent of the pre colonization First Nation's population 33 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: was wiped out. In nineteen oh one, Australia's founding document, 34 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: the Constitution, specifically excluded First Nation people from policymaking, something 35 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 2: which continued until nineteen sixty seven, and there is a 36 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: long history of discriminatory policies from federal and state governments. Today, 37 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 2: disparities persist. First Nations people have worse outcomes compared to 38 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: non First Nations people on health measures, education measures, economic measures, 39 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: and this is something that just about everybody in the 40 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: Voice debate agrees needs to change. 41 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: We need to see better outcomes on the ground. 42 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: This is Jade Richie. She's a YES advocate from the 43 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: Bunda clan of the Garangarang nation. 44 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: You know, this is a matter of life or death 45 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: for us. I'm a mum raising two Aboriginal teenagers in 46 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 3: the Northern Territory right now, and it's the most beautiful thing. 47 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 3: But it's also terrifying because right now the statistics tell 48 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 3: me that my children are more likely to go to 49 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 3: jail than go to university. 50 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 4: There are people in the Aboriginal and corresporated on the 51 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 4: community who'll live in dreadful situations. 52 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: This is Nyungai Warren Mundane. He is a no campaigner 53 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: and a bungel young. 54 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 4: Man, probably worse standards than my family lived in back 55 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 4: in the fifties and forties. And it's horrifying to go 56 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 4: there and see that. 57 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 5: You know the closing the gap statistics. You know what 58 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 5: is rheumatic heart fever? And why is it so rampant 59 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 5: in the indigenous population and yet it's been completely eliminated 60 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 5: in the non indigenous population in the nineteen fifties. 61 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: This is Professor Marcia Langton, an academic, a Yuman and 62 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: vigital woman and one of the architects of the Voice. 63 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 5: Will live eight years less than any other Australian. But 64 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 5: that's just an average and it's much much worse in 65 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 5: many areas of Australia. And so people are dying fifteen, 66 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 5: twenty years, thirty years for their time, and so to 67 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 5: be born into the world as Aboriginal or Torres Strait 68 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 5: Island are now for most Indigenous people means that their 69 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 5: lives will be cut short, much shorter than other Australians. 70 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 5: I was with the party that took someone to the 71 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 5: morgue last week. People don't seem to understand what mortality 72 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 5: rate means. It means that people die. It means they 73 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 5: die right next to you. 74 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 2: So on both sides of this debate, there is agreement 75 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: that we have a problem. Something else that just about 76 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: everybody in this debate agrees on is that to change 77 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: these statistics, it's helpful to listen to the people who 78 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: live them. 79 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 3: I think that despite best efforts, if you're not hearing 80 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 3: things directly from the people who the policy and legislation concerns, 81 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 3: there is a real risk of that messaging being diluted 82 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 3: and the context being missing. And so the best thing 83 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 3: you can do is actually listen to the people who 84 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 3: those policies and legislation effect. 85 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 4: We've got now the traditional owner groups, the original and 86 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 4: First Nations as people talk about who I got getting 87 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 4: their land back. So there's about fifty five percent of 88 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 4: Australia's land masses now under control of these Natives toddlers, 89 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 4: and these people actually got a voice. They speak for 90 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 4: their country. 91 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 2: The idea that First Nations people should be represented in 92 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: the nation's capital and tell the government what their communities 93 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: actually need isn't a new idea. In nineteen thirty eight, 94 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 2: yor to Yutoman William Cooper sent a petition to the 95 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: King asking for Aboriginal representation in Australia's parliament. He argued 96 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: it would get better outcomes. Since that time, a number 97 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: of different bodies have been set up to involve First 98 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: Nations people in First Nations policies, but all of them 99 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: have since been abolished. The most recent example was the 100 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 2: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission or at SICK, which 101 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 2: was set up in nineteen ninety but dismantled in twenty 102 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 2: fifteen for advocates of a voice. The lesson from all 103 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 2: of this is simple, consultation works, but it's governments who 104 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: keep getting in the. 105 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 3: Way governments in the past have played a lot of 106 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 3: games with Indigenous people. We talk about political football, and 107 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 3: we've seen that in representative bodies being stood up and 108 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 3: then abolished and stood up by the next government and 109 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,119 Speaker 3: abolished by the next government. We need the security. 110 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 5: Budget can roll on from year to year funding completely. 111 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 5: The wrong intervention that you know is not getting any outcomes, 112 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 5: any successful outcomes, simply because the executive government are wedded 113 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 5: to a policy position that's dictated by a minister, and 114 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 5: that is the primary reason why we're not closing the gap. 115 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 5: If they don't start to work with us in a 116 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 5: more collaborative and fruitful way, then you know the outcomes 117 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 5: will be so much worse. 118 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: This frustration was front of mine for First Nations leaders 119 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: when they gathered in twenty seventeen to talk about a 120 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: different question, constitutional recognition. This was an idea which you've 121 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: been around for a while, to add symbolic language to 122 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: our nation's constitution to recognize First Nations people as the 123 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: original inhabitants. 124 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 5: The recognition part is very important because we believe that 125 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 5: it will give Indigenous people dignity in the Australian nation 126 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 5: and rather than feeling like pariahs and outcasts. Having status 127 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 5: in the Constitution will mean that we're part of the 128 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 5: national fabric finally and recognized as the first people's and 129 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 5: not the wrong type of people to be socially engineered 130 00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 5: and assimilated. 131 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: This idea of constitutional recognition also had broad political support, 132 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 2: and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull had set up a council 133 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: to work towards a referendum on recognition. That council held 134 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: meetings across the country, but a consistent theme emerged. First 135 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: Nations people didn't want just symbolism. They wanted something tangible. 136 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: They wanted a voice. These conversations about the constitution ended 137 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: with a convention at Ularu two hundred and fifty First 138 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 2: Nations leaders were selected from across the country to agree 139 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: on a way forward. Two hundred and forty three agreed 140 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: on a statement which came to be known as the 141 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 2: Ularu Statement. 142 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 6: From the Heart, our Aboriginal in Terrestrate Islander tribes were 143 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 6: the first sovereign nations of the Australian continent and its 144 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 6: adjacent islands and possessed it under our own laws and customs. 145 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 6: This our ancestors did according to the Reckoning of our 146 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 6: culture from the creation, according to the common law, from 147 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 6: time immemorial and according to science more than sixty thousand 148 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 6: years ago. 149 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: Its number one element was a constitutionally enshrined voice to Parliament. 150 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 6: We call for the establishment of a First Nation's voice 151 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 6: enshrined in the constitution. 152 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: It would be an advisory body to speak to the 153 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: Parliament about matters relating to First Nations people. But right 154 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: from the start there was opposition to this idea. 155 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 7: This country, your system of government has been built on lies. 156 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 5: Lies. 157 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 2: This is Lydia Thorpe, a senator and a Jabworan Gunai 158 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 2: Gundijimara woman. Thorpe is part of a group of progressive 159 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 2: First Nations people who didn't like the idea of putting 160 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: an advisory body into the same constitution that had been 161 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 2: written by colonial powers. 162 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 7: And the referendum for the Voice to Parliament is a 163 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 7: continuation of these lives. The voice is the easy way 164 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 7: to fake progress without actually having to change a thing. 165 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: This is Thorpe speaking at the National Press Club a 166 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: few weeks ago as part of her campaign against the Voice. 167 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: But she's been opposed to the idea right from the beginning. 168 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: She was actually part of a group of seven people 169 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 2: who walked out of the ULARU convention in protest in 170 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. 171 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 7: Our people have never ceded sovereignty. We have never given 172 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 7: up our right to manage our own lands and our 173 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 7: own people. That is our constitution. We've got the oldest 174 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 7: constitution on the planet. Yours has only been here a 175 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 7: couple of hundred years. 176 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: Thorpe's criticism comes from the progressive end of politics, but 177 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: there were also concerns among First Nations people on the 178 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: other end of politics. 179 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 4: It's a committee, a group of people you are going 180 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 4: to advise government, and government doesn't have to accept that advice, 181 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 4: or it can accept that advice. 182 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: Yunguy Warren Mundane is a conservative who had supported constitutional recognition, 183 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: but he didn't like the idea of a voice, which 184 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 2: he thought would be the same as other bodies attempted 185 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: in the past. 186 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 4: To me, it was like a huge bureaucracy was going 187 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 4: to be set up. That to me seems a bit 188 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 4: weird because we've been doing this for fifty years. Since 189 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 4: the seventies, we've been having advisory committees who governments accept 190 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 4: their advice or don't accept their advice. So I don't 191 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 4: see the point in putting that in the constitution. For me, 192 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 4: I want practical outcomes and I want them to happen. That, 193 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 4: of course is going to take time. But if you 194 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 4: don't start the day, then it's going to take even 195 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 4: longer time. 196 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 2: Mundane's argument goes deeper than just whether the Voice will work. 197 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 2: At the Press club during the Voice campaign, ask the 198 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 2: referendum is divisive. 199 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 4: That's what the referendum and this ULARUS statement is all about. 200 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 4: Radical and divisive vision of Australia. Do we want to 201 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 4: be a country where people are divided by race permanently, 202 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 4: in conflict with each other over facts of history that 203 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 4: cannot be altered. 204 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 2: But for some division is already a reality. Here's Marcia 205 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 2: Langton again, one of the key architects of the Voice. 206 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 5: Is there anybody else in Australian society? Is there any 207 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 5: other ethnic group that is constantly told cease to exist, 208 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 5: cease to exist. We don't have to recognize you, stop 209 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 5: speaking your language, don't cook your food. It only applies 210 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 5: to us. We live in a soup of racism. It's 211 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 5: structural racism. Most people can't see it, don't recognize it, 212 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 5: and wonder what we're complaining about. 213 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 4: The couldn't be further from the idea of reconciliation. The 214 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 4: full manifest, though, is steeped in grievance. It sees Indigenous 215 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 4: Australians has trapped in victimhood and oppression. 216 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 2: Now we should emphasize that the views of Mundane and 217 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 2: Thorpe here are not the majority view. Pole suggests that 218 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 2: more than eighty percent of First Nations people support a Voice. 219 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 3: I think there is real opportunity here and we don't 220 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 3: get the luxury of being ideologues. We don't get the 221 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 3: luxury of sitting around waiting for something better. We need 222 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 3: change now. 223 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 2: So the Voice has divided some First Nations people right 224 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 2: from the start, but as the Voice headed towards Parliament, 225 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 2: a new type of political contention would emerge. Tomorrow, I'll 226 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: speak to key players in the Voice's journey through the 227 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: Nation's capital. 228 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 3: Whatever the outcome is, the nation will be bruised. And 229 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 3: it didn't have to be this way. 230 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: No nation has ever been made stronger, more unified by fear. 231 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: And we'll look at how an idea born at Ularu 232 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,239 Speaker 2: ended up in the Canberra political crossfire. 233 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to this very special episode of the 234 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: Daily OS. I know I learned something, so if you 235 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: did too, then send it to a friend. It starts 236 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: a conversation, and right now, conversation is so important. This 237 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: episode was written and presented by Tom Crowley, produced by 238 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: Joe Kylie, and edited and mixed by Nina Copple. We'll 239 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: be back again with episode two tomorrow, but until then, 240 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: have a fabulous Monday.
