Anthony Albanese will announce the Voice referendum date, cost of the Snowy 2.0 project doubles and climate change will impact how the Reserve Bank sets interest rates.
A prominent architect of the Indigenous Voice to parliament proposal has rebuked conservative political leaders and No campaign advocates for peddling “myths and misinformation” about the looming referendum.
Senior Australian of the Year and Voice co-architect Tom Calma said misinformation and disinformation had infected much of the public debate surrounding the Indigenous Voice and often came from people who were ill-informed or had malicious intent.In January, after being named Senior Australian of the Year, Calma used his acceptance speech to warn of “pundits who are ill-informed or have malicious intent regarding the Voice” targeting senior Australians.
“Misinformation and disinformation has been exponentially exploited especially by conservative political leaders at the national level conservative media, and No campaign advocates,” Calma says in a speech to be delivered today and provided to this masthead. “While we have many older Australians who have negative or ill-informed attitudes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples because they were denied a balanced history education, I am confident this will not be the case for future generations.”
