“Yes” chair Rachel Perkins on truths, lies and the Voice

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. 

How information reaches voters will be the responsibility of the media. So will it rise to the challenge? And what does fair reporting look like in a debate that is already so charged?

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.
