WEBVTT - The Voice explained Part 2: From Uluru to Canberra

0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Good morning and welcome to this special episode of The

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Daily OS. It's Tuesday, the tenth of October. I'm Sam

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:14.239
<v Speaker 1>and every day this week, TDA journalist Tom Crowley will

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>be bringing you the Voice Explained series. We'll be running

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>right up until the referendum, which is this Saturday. If

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.599
<v Speaker 1>you're listening to the podcast for the first time this week, welcome.

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I recommend starting with Monday's episode that will make things

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.159
<v Speaker 1>make a bit more sense. So the plan for this

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.639
<v Speaker 1>week is this special run of deep dives on the podcast.

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>But if you want the headlines and what's making news today,

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.879
<v Speaker 1>you can head over to our Instagram or sign up

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>to our daily newsletter that drops at seven am every morning.

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>We'll be back with the regular podcast format from Monday.

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday, we looked at where the idea of a voice

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 2>came from and the debate that ensued among First Nations people.

0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 2>We don't get the luxury of sitting around way for

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 2>something better for me. It was like a huge bureaucracy.

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 2>We need change now.

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.400
<v Speaker 3>The Voice is the easy way to fake progress.

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 2>But as the Voice debate moves to Canberra, things will

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 2>only get messier.

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 4>A short time ago, I resigned as a shadow.

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 5>Attorney signing, we have to suspep on dividing our nation

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 5>along the lines of brands.

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 6>And all of the noise that attempted to be created,

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 6>Prime Minister is dividing your nation.

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Episode two, The Politics. Remember yesterday I told you that

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.040
<v Speaker 2>in twenty fifteen, a council was established to work towards

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 2>a referendum on constitutional recognition for First Nations people, an

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>idea with broad political support. But when that council spoke

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 2>to First Nations people, a clear message came back. They

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 2>didn't want symbolic recognition. They wanted something practical, They wanted

0:01:55.280 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>a voice. The Council sent this message back to Minister

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Malcolm Turnbull, but one council member had doubts. Former Liberal

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 2>politician Amanda Vanstone said, it is not clear that Australia

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 2>will automatically approve whatever Indigenous Australia prefers without finding common

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 2>ground before a referendum. What was intended to be a

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 2>unifying and progressive move forward could turn into a lightning

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 2>rod for discontent. Hearing those words six years later, they

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 2>sound almost like a prophecy for the politically charged debate

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 2>that we're having today. But that's getting ahead of ourselves.

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Soon after the ULARU Statement from the Heart was delivered

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 2>in twenty seventeen, the then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull rejected

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 2>the idea of a constitutionally enshrined voice.

0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 1>The government does not believe this could pass at a referendum.

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Turnbul asked for more work to be done to flesh

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 2>out the details of a voice, but for now, at

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.239
<v Speaker 2>least there would be no referendum.

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.120
<v Speaker 6>It would be in effect a third chamber now as

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 6>to its prospects of referendum, it would have no prospect

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 6>of success whatsoever.

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Then in twenty twenty two, the government changed all right.

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>In his victory speech on election night, new Prime Minister

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Albanezi began with the voice.

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 6>I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 6>on which we meet. I pay my respect to their eldest, past,

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 6>present and emerging, and on behalf of the Australian Labor Party,

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 6>I commit to the ULARUS Statement from the Home.

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Prime Minister, thank you for speaking to the Daily Os.

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Good to have a chat again. Why did you start

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 2>there and why was it so significant to you?

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 6>Because it's important that we acknowledge the traditional owners of

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 6>the land. Here we share this continent with the oldest

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 6>continuous culture on earth. That is a source of great pride.

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 2>The Albanizy government started pulling together the pieces for a referendum.

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 2>At first it looked like there might be broad political support.

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Opposition leader Peter Dutton appointed Julian Lisa to be the

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Shadow Indigenous Affairs Minister.

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 7>An incredibly bright individual and somebody who has contributed to

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.799
<v Speaker 7>our party for a long period of time.

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Lisa was a long term supporter of the Voice.

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 4>The whole point of having consultative advisory bodies, and that's

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 4>all they are, is to make better policy on the ground.

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 2>And in August of twenty twenty two, sixty four percent

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 2>of Australians said they were likely to support a voice.

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 2>But soon a sticking point emerged over the question of detail.

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Now here's where we're about to get into the political weeds,

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 2>and before we do that, it's really important to be

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 2>clear about the difference between the Constitution and normal laws.

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Well we're voting on on October fourteen is a change

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 2>to the Constitution, that's our national rule book. The Constitution

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.479
<v Speaker 2>would require that a voice must exist and that it

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 2>must be a to give advice, but everything else would

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 2>be left for Parliament to establish under normal laws the

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 2>same way it does everything else. Questions like how many

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 2>members are on the Voice and how they're chosen, those

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 2>would be worked out by law.

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 6>This is the nature of the constitution. It doesn't do

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:22.600
<v Speaker 6>that detail. That's true legislation. All it does a constitution

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 6>is provide for the power if you like for that

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 6>to happen. It says we'll have a defense for us.

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 6>Does it say how many people will be in It

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 6>doesn't say how many tanks Australia shall have or what

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 6>planes the Air Force should fly.

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 2>The Albanezi government chose not to reveal all its plans

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 2>for those details. Instead, it published a list of principles.

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 2>It included that the members of the Voice would be

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 2>chosen by local communities.

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.280
<v Speaker 6>The Voice will be gender balanced and include youth.

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 2>The Voice wouldn't handle any money, and it wouldn't deliver

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 2>any programs.

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:03.599
<v Speaker 6>It will not so power over decisions by this Parliament

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:05.279
<v Speaker 6>or by the government.

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.480
<v Speaker 2>But Peter Dutton said this left too many questions unanswered.

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 7>We haven't yet seen the final form of what it

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 7>is the government's going to propose.

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>This is Peter Dutton when I interviewed him in March

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 2>this year.

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 7>That's a reasonable question to ask, and that's why I

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 7>hope a prime minister can provide that detail.

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 2>That's been consistent messaging from the Coalition. A couple of

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago. I spoke to Coalition spokesperson Senator Jane Hume.

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 8>It doesn't explain what the model is that we will

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 8>be using for a voice to Parliament. We don't know

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 8>how it's going to be constituted, who will be on it,

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:44.600
<v Speaker 8>what powers it has, what powers it doesn't have. And

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 8>while we say don't worry, we'll take care of all

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 8>of that later on, that's not good enough for the Constitution.

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 2>There is wording in there that says that the powers

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 2>of the Voice will be decided by Parliament. In what

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.479
<v Speaker 2>way are you worried that the wording will bind the

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Parliament in any way? If it says that Parliament has

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 2>the power to decide what the Voice should look like.

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 8>Well it will be a very powerful body, there is

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.279
<v Speaker 8>no doubt about that. We don't know, but we don't

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 8>know how it will be powerful. You're essentially asking the

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 8>Australian people to change, fundamentally, change the Constitution. It is

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 8>a radical change, there is no doubt about that. And

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 8>they're saying, then trust the Parliament to build something afterwards.

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 8>Why wouldn't the Parliament build something beforehand?

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 6>No, campaign have been talking about everything, but what the

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 6>question is not changing the way our parliament functions, all

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 6>the way government functions. What we're talking about here is

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 6>an advisory group that will have the power of its ideas,

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 6>but won't have the power of veto, won't have the

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 6>power to fund programs. It will just have the power

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 6>of its ideas to go forward. And that's why there's

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 6>nothing to fear here. That's why this is such a positive,

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 6>generous proposal from Indigenous Australians and why I believe Australians

0:07:59.000 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 6>will vote yes.

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 2>If there is nothing to fear in that bill, what

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 2>harm could there be from releasing that and answering all

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 2>those questions now?

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 6>Because it's not my bill, it's a Parliament's bill the Parliament, but.

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 2>The government is likely to know introduce a bill.

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.680
<v Speaker 6>No, the Parliament will do that and we'll work across

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 6>the parliament, work with Indigenous Australians. What Australians are being

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 6>asked to do is you feel like put the principle

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 6>in there. It then is importantly up to the Parliament

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 6>and it will change over time as it should as

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 6>do other laws. This is no different. It is just

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:40.200
<v Speaker 6>giving that constitutional intriment that there should be an advisory body.

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 6>That's all it does.

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 2>The longer the conversation about details went on, the clearer

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 2>it became that Peter Dutton was leaning towards NO. But

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 2>it was the Nationals who became the first party to

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 2>officially oppose the Voice.

0:08:56.240 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 5>We have to stop dividing our nation along the lines

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 5>of race.

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.679
<v Speaker 2>One of their newest senators, justinter NAMBIKMP Price argued the

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Voice was divisive.

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 5>Why should I, as an Indigenous Australian be governed under

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 5>a separate entity than the rest of Australia.

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.559
<v Speaker 2>A few months later, Peter Dutton officially joined the No campaign.

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 2>His Indigenous Affairs spokesperson Julian Lisa quit and was replaced

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:23.559
<v Speaker 2>by Price.

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 4>I've had many respectful discussions with colleagues about the Voice

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 4>over the past year. I've listened to their views and

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 4>they've heard mine, but ultimately I haven't been able to

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.560
<v Speaker 4>persuade them.

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.959
<v Speaker 2>Dutton also began to describe the Voice as divisive.

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 7>The Prime Minister is dividing the nation with his divisy

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 7>voice proposal by deliberately refusing to provide detail to the

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 7>Australian people.

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 8>Unfortunately, this became an election issue, an electoral issue, a

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 8>political issue. We didn't choose to take it that way.

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 8>That was a decision of the Labor government and of

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.960
<v Speaker 8>Anthony Albanesi specifically, and he cut the Coalition out of

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 8>the conversation.

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Do you regret that you were nable to get bipartisan

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 2>support for this referendum? No referendum succeeded without that before.

0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.559
<v Speaker 6>It's unfortunate. I went out of my way to try

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 6>to do that. Peter Dutton decided to announce support for

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 6>the No campaign even before the process had been completed,

0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 6>and that's unfortunate. Peter Dutton of course walked out on

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 6>the apology, didn't just oppose it being given. He said

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 6>earlier this year that he regretted doing that. He acknowledged

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.960
<v Speaker 6>that there was no downside. This will be no downside

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.840
<v Speaker 6>from a yes vote in this referendum, just an upside.

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 6>Just like before marriage equality, you might recall people being

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 6>told that existing marriages would be undermined. Well, that hasn't happened.

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 6>The fear campaign was not valid, and the fear campaign

0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 6>here is not valid.

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.320
<v Speaker 2>On the other side of politics, the Greens were also

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 2>having difficulty working out their position on the Voice. Their

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Indigenous Affairs spokesperson was Senator Lydia Thorpe, who we met

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 2>yesterday and who has had issues with the idea of

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 2>the Voice since its beginning at all. Rue Lydia Thorpe

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>quit the Greens over her stance.

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Now I will be able to speak freely on all

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 3>issues from a sovereign perspective without being constrained by portfolios

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 3>and agreed party.

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Positions, and so the political battle lines were drawn. In

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.680
<v Speaker 2>the early months, the No campaign gained a lot of

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.200
<v Speaker 2>ground support for the Voice. In opinion pols has dropped

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 2>from more than sixty percent a year ago to well

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 2>below fifty percent. To succeed the referendumill need fifty percent

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 2>nationwide and fifty percent in at least four states, a

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 2>result that everyion poll suggests will not happen. If we

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 2>wake up on October the fifteenth, then it is a no.

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.719
<v Speaker 2>Is that something you'll take personal responsibility for? What will

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:10.720
<v Speaker 2>the path forward look like?

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:15.559
<v Speaker 6>I've given Australians the opportunity to have their say, and

0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 6>I'm very hopeful and I'm optimistic that Australians will vote yes.

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 6>It is important. I think that after such a long

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 6>period of time of being promised to vote, that Australians

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 6>will get the opportunity to lift our whole country up.

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 8>I think on the fifteenth of October we're going to

0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 8>feel very bruised. Whatever the outcome is, the nation will

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 8>be bruised. And it didn't have to be this way.

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.920
<v Speaker 8>That's why I respectfully say no, but I also regretfully

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 8>say no.

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:54.200
<v Speaker 6>No nation has ever been made stronger, more unified by fear.

0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 2>The battling amber has been fierce, but on the other

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 2>side of the country things have looked a little different.

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 6>And I've had a lot of the oldies come up

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 6>to me and be're like, well, I'm voting now.

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 9>Our communities are voiceless, our children are voiceless, our women

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 9>are voiceless.

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow, come with me on a journey to regional Wa.

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm Tom Crowley reporting on Yoori country to hear the

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.239
<v Speaker 2>voices that are often left out of our political conversation.

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Politics really understand Heran Wadach.

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 9>We're supposed to live in our first world country and

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 9>our people live in fourth world conditions.

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.480
