1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Put on your dance and shift.

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 2: Don't give me your best shot. That she is the

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: deputy editor at the Daily Oss. One day she'll be

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: the editor. Although I shouldn't say these plans out loud should.

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: Make you sound like a backstone.

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: I told you that m Lesbie is here.

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: Hello, good morning, and what a morning our unofficial national anthem,

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 3: you're the voice. John Farnham's track is now the sound

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 3: of the Yes campaign in the.

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: Nineteen sixty seven referendum over nineteen kind of Australians both

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: yes and crying already.

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 3: It's so rousing.

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: This song is just the song is one thing that's

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: so rousing. But the imagery is so interesting. It looks

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: at the gun buy back, it looks at Kathy Freeman,

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: it looks at us all as giant communities fighting the fires. Well,

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: that's what we can do if we want it.

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: Really, it's stills like a national pride. I've always been

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: a yes guy from day one. I was a Yes

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: guy back in nineteen ninety nine. You remember when they

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: were going to put the preamble in the front, so

22
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: it was the Republican thing. But in the preamble it

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: said recognizing Aborigines as I said back in nineteen ninety

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: nine is that they were here first and migrants and

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: that's made this country great and we said no to that.

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: I still don't understand why we said no. But the

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: problem is it gets so bogged down. I don't really

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: want to talk about this too much on the air

29
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 2: because I don't want to be because people are saying, oh,

30
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: the elites seem to know all this. I'm not an elite.

31
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: I'm not a labor vader. The thing is, though, what

32
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: I found about this, it's just been so obfiscated by

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: the no thing, and like if you buy a car

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: or a house or anything, there's going to be doubts.

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: I bought my last three houses that I've never got

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: a building inspection. I've never got and I'm not saying

37
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: to do that. But I've read this thing over a

38
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: billion times now, and yes it's got a lot, it's

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: a lot of words in there, but there is no

40
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: we're in it that it says I'm going to lose

41
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: my house or I'm going to have to pay a

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: billion dollars to go to worship.

43
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: We've seen, just like the moments depicted in this ad,

44
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: so much sort of fear mongering. But for those who

45
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: haven't seen it, and you know, I really challenge anyone

46
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: to watch it and not feel something. It's three minutes.

47
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: It's so deeply emotive, but it does sort of it

48
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: follows this family through the years as they kind of

49
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: witness these key moments play out in Australian history, you know,

50
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: from the nineteen sixty seven referendum to count Aboriginal people

51
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: in the senses, the Marbo decision, Kathy Freeman's gold, the

52
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: gun reform of nineteen sixty six, the two thousand and

53
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 3: eight apology from Kevin Rudd, to the marriage equality plebiscite.

54
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: There's all these moments that you kind of reflect on,

55
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: maybe the fear and doubt or negativity of the time,

56
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 3: and how we sort of persevered and came together and

57
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: got through and how it made us a better country.

58
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: And this ad really speaks to that.

59
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: Doesn't It also felt when I watched the ad. I mean,

60
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: as you say, be hard not to have your heart

61
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: swell looking at it, but I think that's how many

62
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: of us felt the minute this was announced. That's been

63
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: chipped away at and this is a reminder of how

64
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: simple the question is.

65
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it truly is. I think this is the best

66
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: thing that's happened to THEES campaign in a while. This

67
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 3: is what they've really needed to kind of reclaim that momentum.

68
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: And John Farnham, you know, a national treasure. He's been

69
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: so protective of this song. He has never agreed to

70
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 3: let it be used in any advertising or marketing before.

71
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: Now no money has changed hands between the Yes side

72
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: and John Farnham. And he believes in what's being asked

73
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: of us, and that's why he's done this. He says,

74
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: you know that this song changed his life and that

75
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: he hopes that now it might help in some small

76
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: way to change the lives of our first nations.

77
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: But I've noticed that the paper they're chipping away at

78
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: that as well because saying I know he has used

79
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: it before in the past, which is true, but I'm

80
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: not you. I just find what we're sweating the Tintaxi.

81
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: And then Peter Dunnan has come out and said we're

82
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: going to have our own referend.

83
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: Well, bizarrely, in events, that's going to be the same.

84
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 2: If they put the same wording in their referendum, it's

85
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: going to be exactly the same.

86
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: Well, I feel a lot of the No campaign is

87
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: now going to collapse under that promise of a referendum

88
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: if the Coalition win the next selection, because it sort

89
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: of muddies the waters even further. But you know, I

90
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: think that music really this country, especially in Australia. It

91
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 3: is so powerful and it speaks to us when we

92
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: have a national treasure like John Farnham sort of throw

93
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: themselves behind this. I think he's someone with such a

94
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: broad demographic of fans and you know, probably a lot

95
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: of crossover of people who are either undecided or might

96
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: be thinking about voting no, and this could be really

97
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: powerful in kind of taking to those people who are

98
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 3: undecided this idea of a simple proposition and a big

99
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: faith in it.

100
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: Put your faith in it, and it says step up

101
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: and help us make history. Be the right side of history.

102
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: It's very powerful.

103
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: To change your constitution is a big deal. Like mathe

104
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: that's got a footy club and they try to change

105
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: their constitution. Oh my god, that thing's a pain in

106
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: their neck. And that's just a local footage.

107
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 3: Just at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

108
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: And I understand that people would have fears and stuff, but.

109
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: How can we not include our First Nations in the content.

110
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: I'm not here to preach. You do whatever you want,

111
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: but I know in my heart, I know what what

112
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: what side of history are we?

113
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think it's you know, for people who

114
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 3: are on the fence, that's perfectly understandable.

115
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: Don't beat yourselves up.

116
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: But I think it's on us to educate ourselves to

117
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: understand more. There are so many resources out there if

118
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: you are confused. The AEC website has stacks and stacks

119
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: of really helpful resources. The Daily Odds where I work,

120
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: follow us on Instagram at the Daily Ours, we're going

121
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: to be covering it really in depth, and you know, yeah,

122
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: it's all there for you.

123
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: It's not over complicated exactly.

124
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: Don't You'll be editor before you know it. I mean sorry,

125
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: it's thank you. M check out in the Daily Os
