“Yes” chair Rachel Perkins on truths, lies and the Voice
Description
Yesterday in front of cheering “Yes” campaigners in Adelaide, Anthony Albanese announced the date when Australians will vote on the Voice to Parliament.
This is the first referendum to happen in the age of social media and misinformation – making truth in reporting more important than ever.

Today, co-chair of the “Yes” campaign and Arrernte and Kalkadoon woman, Rachel Perkins, on the media’s failings and why it has to do better before polling day.
