ARN’s iHeart and The Daily Aus have announced the launch of “The Voice Explained” to help young Australians participating in the first referendum in their lifetime.
The Daily Aus podcast will host a special ‘Voice’ series from the 9th to 14th of October where The Daily Aus journalist Tom Crowley will explain what Australians need to know to make an informed decision on voting day.
The series features interviews with big names in the Voice political landscape, including a range of First Nations voices, from leading ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ campaigners Marcia Langton and Warren Mundine, to on-the-ground regional perspectives from Broome and Fitzroy Crossing.
The podcast will also include an exclusive interview with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, with The Daily Aus putting young Australians’ questions directly to the PM.
Monday 9 October, Part 1 – The Road to the Voice
What is the Voice and where did the idea come from? We start right at the beginning, from the idea’s conception to the moment it landed on the political agenda.
Tuesday 10 October, Part 2 – The Politics
The voice referendum has seen political battle lines drawn between the Government and Opposition. But as the arguing amps up, it can be hard to hear clearly through the noise. This episode will unravel how an Indigenous Voice became a make or break for the Prime Minister, and what it will mean if it fails.
Wednesday 11 October, Part 3 – First Nations Voices
The Daily Aus goes on the road to speak with First Nations people across the country. Join Tom as he asks locals how they feel about the voice, and what it would mean in a town like Fitzroy Crossing.
Thursday 12 October, Part 4 – Extended Interview with the Prime Minister
For those keen to go a bit deeper – we’ll release an exclusive, extended version of our chat with the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Friday 13 October, Part 5 – FAQ
This wouldn’t be a TDA series without answering our audience’s frequently asked questions. We’ll explain what you need to know to be informed on 14 October.
