What is this episode about

This Sunday at 9:00 pm AEDT on Channel 7 and 7plus, 7NEWS Spotlight will air a live, one-hour television event in advance of the nation’s vote on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament on October 14.

7NEWS Spotlight’s Michael Usher, Liam Bartlett, and Sarah Greenhalgh will lead the extensive coverage as the show aims to address for voters the key issues, questions, and misinformation on all sides of the Referendum debate in what is sure to be a watershed moment in Australia’s history and the path of reconciliation for years to come.

Those in favour of the Voice will be represented by Assistant Minister for Indigenous Australians Senator Malarndirri McCarthy and indigenous veteran journalist Ray Martin, while those opposed to the Voice will be represented by Independent Senator for Victoria Lidia Thorpe and Shadow Aboriginal Affairs Minister, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.

Each will make their case in front of an on-screen poll that will give unprecedented insight into the voting intentions of Australians, and in front of a live audience of undecided voters.

7NEWS Spotlight visited Pukatja in South Australia and Imanpa in the Northern Territory, two of Australia’s most remote Aboriginal communities, to speak with First Nations people and hear their perspectives on including an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice in the Constitution.
