On episode 295 we discuss how we’re voting in the Voice to Parliament referendum, focusing on the Yes campaign versus the Progressive No. These final thoughts on the Voice build on a previous episode we did on the topic, ‘Voicing Concerns on the Voice to Parliament’, which featured speeches from the 2023 Invasion Day rally: https://progressivepodcastaustralia.com/2023/02/15/288/
