Patrick speaks to Associate Professor of Marketing Catherine Sutton Brady from the University of Sydney about the result of the Voice to Parliament referendum and her perspective on why the Yes campaign failed and what made the No campaign successful.

We listen back to a conversation between Claudia and Bep Uink, Associate Professor and Dean of Indigenous Knowledge at Murdoch University, Western Australia about the impact of the Voice to Parliament debates on Indigenous Australians in the lead up to the referendum.

First Nations leaders supporting the YES campaign are entering a week of silence to allow for a period of mourning.

After providing some space for mourning over the next week, the YES campaign will coordinate a gathering in the next few weeks to come together to debrief, reflect and consider what comes next. 

It is now time to rest, pause and reflect. If you need extra support in this time, please speak to your doctor or reach out to Lifeline (13 11 14) or 13 Yarn (13 92 76)

We hear reflections on the plight of Palestinians from 3CR's Palestine Remembered host Nasser Mashni. This segment first aired on 14th September. You can catch the rest of the programme by heading to https://www.3cr.org.au/palestine

3CR’s Palestine Remembered airs every Saturday morning on 3CR 9.30am -10am.

Claudia speaks with Human Rights Law Centre lawyer David Mejia-Canales about the democratic right to protest following the NSW government's condemnation of a pro-Palestinian rally in Sydney last week.
