The Project host Waleed Aly has revealed why he believes the Voice referendum failed so miserably over the weekend, saying the concept wasn’t properly explained and Australians didn’t like the idea of giving one group more power over another.
After 60% of Aussies voted ‘No’ in the Voice referendum, Waleed Aly has revealed what he believes to have been the ‘Yes’ campaign’s downfall.
Aly said that the primary factor that impacted voting patterns appeared to be education.

“But most people have not been on that journey. When you come to them with this idea that’s quite abstract and complicated, they’re going to respond with an instinct. That instinct is, it doesn’t feel right.”
