Watch here: https://youtu.be/Xzk6zYXxvQ4 Reflecting on his pivotal role in the development of a proposal to recognise Australia's Indigenous peoples in the Constitution, Damien Freeman explains how something that started off as an exercise in settlement politics ended in a failed referendum. Damien Freeman is a visiting scholar at the PM Glynn Institute. He founded and directs the Governor-General's Prize for the Constitution Education Fund Australia. Together with Julian Leeser MP, he established Uphold and Recognise, a non-profit organisation committed to upholding the Australian Constitution and recognising Indigenous Australians. In 2015, Noel Pearson launched The Australian Declaration of Recognition, a pamphlet written by Freeman and Leeser. Damien lectures on ethics and aesthetics at Pembroke College, Cambridge, and convenes a public conversation series with Dr Simon Longstaff AO at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. He is currently working on a project investigating the conservative cast of mind in contemporary Australia, with particular reference to Tony Abbott.
Indigenous scholar Noel Pearson concludes his series of lectures on Australia's history and current relationship with Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal peoples. In these later talks, Pearson views that relationship through the lens of the economy, schools, and cultural identity. He draws attention to the commonalities between Australians of all backgrounds.
With a ground invasion imminent - Israel warns Palestinians to clear out of northern Gaza; Police tell protesters to stay away from a pro-Palestine rally planned this weekend in Sydney; and on the eve of The Voice referendum why the driving force of the proposal Noel Pearson remains confident the Yes vote can win.
It was the referendum Anthony Albanese promised to hold at the last election, but pretty much all the opinion polls suggest that when Australians cast their votes, it will be a resounding “No” to an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. The Voice would act as an independent advisory body to the government for First Nations people, but the proposed change to the Constitution has led to a divisive and heated debate. Today, ABC reporter Isabella Higgins on why Yes campaigners still see a glimmer of hope and what to expect when you wake up the morning after the vote. Featured: Isabella Higgins, ABC reporter
We're not the only ones with an election tomorrow. Australians will vote in their first referendum in more than 20 years. If successful, it will change Australia's constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing a body called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. Australian Correspondent, Murray Olds, told Mike Hosking that it's currently seeming as though the referendum will be lost. He said that the prominent indigenous leader Noel Pearson has made a last-minute appeal to voters, but it's likely to fall on deaf ears.

Ben Davison takes a look at Noel Pearson's Insiders interview and how he managed to cut through the misinformation, fear mongering and misdirection to remind Australia that the referendum is an opportunity to accept the hand of friendship by recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as our first people and embrace the opportunity of reconciliation by guaranteeing an advisory body. Nothing more, nothing less. The crossbench teamed up with Peter Dutton's Noalition to delay the closing loopholes laws which will cost workers, just in the gig economy, as much as $200,000,000. Ben breaks down what the laws are about, why they are important to workers and why big business is fighting so hard to stop them.

Leading 'No' campaigner Warren Mundine has confirmed he kicked people off the campaign because of bigoted comments - Over 18 multicultural and multifaith communities have gathered at Parliament House to support an Indigenous Voice to Parliament - and, Noel Pearson's latest bid to rally support for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
Noel Pearson says the Indigenous Voice To Parliament proposal gives First Nations people a right to take responsibility...a search and rescue mission underway for four missing Australians in Indonesia... and the Matildas play down their good record against England
Ben Davison is BACK after a two week break with a deep dive on the FIVE big issues that should be dominating the national debate. 98% of our public schools don't have the resources they need. Ben reads out a message from a listener about how the failure to support every child has left class sizes too big, teachers overworked and kids missing out on the support they need. Inflation is coming down. The spokesperson from the bosses pamphlet on Insiders continued to recite the neo-liberal mantras of higher rates, more unemployment and lower wages but Ben outlines how Jim Chalmers and Labor are implementing a neo-Keynesian approach that is bringing down prices, keeping people in work and supporting those most in need. Workplace reforms are coming to parliament to stop the multi-billion dollar loopholes that see labour hire workers paid less, forced casualisation of millions of people and profiteering at working people's expense. There's a union for every worker, casual, labour hire, teacher, miner, nurse, graphic designer and you can join at australianunions.org.au/wow The Housing Affordability Future Fund is coming back. With $1,300,000 a day NOT going into housing because of the Greens back Dutton's Noalition Labor is ready to set up a double dissolution trigger. The Voice. Greg Sheridan can go on Insiders to say that Dutton isn't racists if the referendum fails but if all the racists are voting NO does it matter if he considers himself to be racist? Ben argues you pick a side. No has Pauline Hanson and Andrew Bolt. Yes has Marcia Langton and Noel Pearson. Which side are you on? Plus Ben touches on why the noise around the Rockingham by-election is meaningless Liberal narrative and why Dutton's abysmal record on government contracts is best left to the National Anti-Corruption Commission to determine.

The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast | Inside Australian Real Estate
In the face of soaring property prices and an ongoing housing crisis, the conversation around property affordability has expanded beyond first home buyers and now encompasses the rental sphere. Despite interest rates on the rise, property prices continue to climb, leaving many wondering how long this upward trend will persist. The root of the issue lies in the scarcity of supply, with listings at an all-time low and little indication of improvement. While supply on the rental side poses an even greater challenge, requiring years of rectification and substantial investment, the consequences for dual income families struggling to secure housing are dire. It seems that the housing crises have outgrown the capacity of governments to handle alone. Is Australia's property market, which has been deemed "too big to fail," possibly too big to fix? In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into a discussion with Evan Thornley, CEO of LongView, and Jane-Frances Kelly, Head of Strategy & Insights at Longview, who have dedicated considerable time, energy, and resources to understanding the underlying causes of Australia's housing woes. Longview, in collaboration with Pexa, recently released a series of three housing affordability Whitepapers, with the third installment offering potential solutions to the identified housing crises. Tune in as we explore the innovative thinking and fresh perspectives brought forth by Evan Thornley and Jane-Frances Kelly as they shed light on the complexities of Australia's property market and the urgent need for collaborative efforts among all stakeholders, including governments, community housing providers, and the private sector. Join us as we uncover the proposed solutions that could help alleviate the housing challenges faced by individuals and families across the nation. Can a breakthrough be found amidst this housing turmoil? Discover the insights, ideas, and potential solutions that could shape the future of Australia's property landscape. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Welcome 08:34 - Rhetoric surrounds individual landlords, both pro and con. 13:45 - What are some solutions for the overall market? 20:36 - What lending-level changes would make this model more attractive? 26:04 - How does the $2.1 trillion invested in residential property unlock more investment? 30:00 - Why don't we have existing residential property funds like this? 36:43 - How do you identify properties with high land content and values? 41:18 - Medium rise is the cheapest housing form. 46:55 - What are your thoughts on the power of the labor market? 50:40 - Investors hinder first-time homebuyers' opportunities. 55:57 - What's happening in the home loan space? 1:02:14 - The importance of scalable, effective solutions.

The Higgins-Lehrmann saga continues apace, putting political pressure on the Finance Minister, Katy Gallagher. Will it be a career ender? HK Jack says no, not at this stage but Gallagher is likely to lose a lot of skin. Noel Pearson softens his approach on the Voice. The Bunga Bunga Carnival is over as Silvio Berlusconi dies at 86. Bojo walks. The Ukrainian counter offensive begins. Trump could be toast after his first federal indictment and will the last person out of San Francisco please turn off the lights? Meanwhile in sport, the International Test Championship delivers a breath of life into Test cricket but only if you win it.

If you believe the Liberal media, papers like the Sydney Morning Herald, they will tell you that Parliament there has “erupted” over claims by Peter Dutton, the Opposition leader, that The Voice will radicalise Australia. What's interesting about The Voice is that, as it becomes more and more clear it's going to fail, those that back it are getting more and more alarmist. What Dutton points out is, in fact, reasonably accurate and we know that because all they have to do is look here to see where the experiment ends. Are we radicalised? That's open to definition. But, are we a happy, peaceful, collaborative country when it comes to race relations? No. Further, I think we can fairly safely say that it's only gotten worse in the past handful of years. Like Australia, what we set out to do all those years ago, which was sort past wrongs and give Maori a seat at the table, was, and is, laudable. But it's not been easy. It's not resolved the issues and here we are a half century later and the debate has turned bitter, the resentment has grown and I'm not sure you would hold it up as a model for anyone. This is not to take a side; it's to state the obvious. The trouble, as Australia is finding, is the definition. What's a voice? How much does it translate into the real world? Of late here, co-governance has become inflammatory. Yes, Maori have a say, but it's say-by-appointment, not the mechanism of democracy. We decided we didn't like democracy for Maori because they didn't get a fair go. So, because of race, they got treated differently, they got their own seats in Parliament and they got their own seats on the council. Seats based on race did, and does, create tensions. You might remember at council level you once could vote if a council changed seats for Maori to appointments. They took that rule away. Once again, that led to an inflammatory reaction. I don't even need to mention Three Waters when it comes to race-based angst. So, Dutton is spot on. Even if you are the most ardent, passionate advocate for indigenous voices and representation, to suggest, as ironically The Voice architect Noel Pearson does, that it leads to plurality and not apartheid, and brings indigenous people in from the margins, is fanciful nonsense. The basic idea is solid. The execution, as we have seen and lived, is a rocky old road. And we are far from finished.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Ghost Of Richard Harris tells the story of a once famous actor, poet, lover and singer, whose prodigious career was overshadowed by a reputation for drinking and riotous behavior, earning him the epithet 'hell raiser'. It is the story of a legendary Irishman, perhaps the greatest actor Ireland has produced, who still lives in the hearts of his countrymen. And it's the story of a father whose three sons still think about him every day, since his unexpected death twenty years ago. They are still in search of, and argue about, who he really was - a complex, flawed genius. This is also not a simple biographical documentary. It is a haunting of the people and places that were dear to Richard Harris and told in a unique way through unheard confessional interviews where Harris will again speak to his sons, family and friends. Directed by Adrian Sibley, this fascinating documentary features Harris' three sons: BAFTA Award-winning actor Jared Harris (Chernobyl, The Crown), actor Jamie Harris (Carnival Row, West Side Story) and director Damian Harris (Brave The Dark, Wilde Wedding). In addition, contributors include: Russell Crowe, Vanessa Redgrave, Dick Cavett, Jimmy Webb, Jim Sheridan, Stephen Rea, Phil Coulter, Noel Pearson, Malachy McCourt, Sandy Lieberson, Lelia Doolan & the late Elizabeth Harris.
El antiguo Ministro de la Cartera de Asuntos Indígenas Australianos Ken Wyatt, la primera persona indígena en ocupar el cargo, ha renunciado del Partido Liberal por el rechazo de La Voz. El anuncio se produjo al mismo tiempo que el líder indígena Noel Pearson acusó al Partido Liberal de "avergonzar al país".
Người Thổ dân đầu tiên nắm giữ Bộ Thổ Dân sự vụ Liên bang, ông Ken Wyatt đã rời khỏi Đảng Tự do do quyết định của đảng nầy chống lại kế hoạch ‘Tiếng nói Thổ Dân trước Quốc hội'. Đồng thời một trong những người ủng hộ có ảnh hưởng nhất đối với việc nhìn nhận người Thổ Dân là ông Noel Pearson, đã mô tả lập trường của Đảng Tự do là ‘sự phản bội của Judas', cũng như lên án ông Peter Dutton là ‘kẻ chủ mưu', đang cố gắng chôn vùi bản ‘Tuyên Bố Uluru từ Con Tim'.
One of the original architects and a long-time campaigner for Indigenous Constitutional recognition, Noel Pearson speaks to SBS Chief Political Correspondent Anna Henderson on the Liberal Party's opposition to the Voice to Parliament referendum.
The first Aboriginal person to hold the federal Indigenous Australians portfolio, Ken Wyatt, has quit the Liberal Party over its decision to campaign against the Voice to Parliament. It comes as one of the most influential advocates for Indigenous recognition, Noel Pearson, describes the Party's stance as a "Judas betrayal" and condemned Peter Dutton as an "undertaker" trying to bury the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
Ben Fordham has called out Noel Pearson for not following his advice concerning The Voice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Liberals have formally decided to oppose the Voice. Peter Dutton has declared he will campaign against it, a high risk strategy when polls are showing a majority of Australians currently support a “yes” vote. Noel Pearson was scathing of the Liberal Party, calling the decision not to support the Voice “a Judas betrayal of our country”. Moderate Liberal MP Bridget Archer will campaign for the “yes” case. In this podcast, Michelle Grattan and Senator Simon Birmingham, leader of the opposition in the senate, and one of the few remaining moderates in the party, discuss the Voice, the Aston byelection defeat and “where to now?” for the Liberal Party.
