Episode description
In NAIDOC Week, is reconciliation between Black and White Australians dead, buried, or in need of re-imagining? The fallout of the Voice Referendum has left many jaded, confused, angry or indifferent.
Two galvanising reflections on what all Australians can learn from the referendum, with visions for what next.
