Uncommon Sense: Understanding The Voice To Parliament With Kerry O'Brien & Thomas Mayo

Indigenous leader Thomas Mayo and award-winning journalist Kerry O'Brien sit down with Amy for a special in-depth conversation about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament, which Australians will vote on in a referendum this Saturday 14th October 2023. Thomas and Kerry explain the history behind the Voice, why we should support it, and the consequences if we don't. They also debunk the many myths and misconceptions around it. Thomas Mayo is a proud Kaurareg Aboriginal and Kalkalgal, Erubamle Torres Strait Islander man.

"This is not an ideological issue. This is about fairness, it's about justice and it's about improving the nature and character of what we are as Australians… This is one occasion where I've come off the fence, and I'm saying, 'Get involved, understand it, and then explain it to those who don't'." – Kerry O'Brien on Uncommon Sense
