It has “never been more important” for Australians to hear a “diversity of voices” from the ABC as the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum approaches, says Sky News host Jenna Clarke.
“I’ve noticed that a lot of advertisements have been coming out this week where they’re really focusing on our Pacific neighbours,” she told Sky News host Sharri Markson.
“I think they’re debuting a new show next week specifically around what’s happening on the Pacific Islands, which is fantastic, but I think they need to diversify … in more Australian voices. “I think never has it been more important, especially this year, a referendum year, is to get a real wide scope … a diversity of voices on our public broadcaster.”

'Under the terms of yesterday's deal between Labor and the Greens, all new fossil fuel projects will have to be net zero from the start – and it seems that they won't be able to achieve this through offsets such as tree planting, and buying carbon credits. 'And any one of the large entities that fall under the safeguard mechanism, so those big industrial manufacturers essential to jobs and our economic growth, will now be subjected to further regulatory rules. 'What's more, it seems that, under this deal, the climate trigger will be included in a revised biodiversity act, meaning any new fossil fuel projects will subject to protracted delays via lawfare in the courts.'
