Reflections on the Voice to Parliament referendum - What are we going through?

What has it been like for community leaders and Aboriginal staff at La Trobe University to experience the drawn-out public focus on the Voice to Parliament referendum? We have seen the polls and constant media commentary, but what do we really know about how public sentiment has been evolving over recent months? With the event being held just one week before the vote, this panel provides an opportunity to reflect and engage with the lived experience and public perceptions of the Voice referendum as seen through personal and expert perspectives.
