Turning Point: Australia after the Voice referendum

  • Summary

  • All our Links: https://linktr.ee/centreforindependentstudies Listen to this recording of our thought-provoking CIS event that explored the complexities of Australian identity, politics, and social cohesion. The event featured engaging discussions with special guests Nyunggai Warren Mundine, Dr. Tanveer Ahmed and Damien Freeman.

    Held after the historic 2023 referendum, which saw a 60/40 rejection of the Voice, the conversation examines the deepening divisions in Australian society. As public opinion shifted before the vote, broader concerns about cultural and political fractures came to the forefront. The speakers tackled important questions about the accusations of racism, the rise of populism and identity politics, and whether Australia’s social fabric is fraying in an era of diminishing trust and growing polarization.

    What does it mean to be Australian in the 21st century? What unites us as a nation, and how do we nurture the social cohesion for which Australia has been known?

    The discussion featured:

    • Damien Freeman, writer, lawyer, philosopher, and author of The End of Settlement.
    • Nyunggai Warren Mundine, Director of the Indigenous Forum at CIS and co-editor of Beneath the Southern Cross.
    • Dr. Tanveer Ahmed, psychiatrist, author, and columnist for the Australian Financial Review.
    • Peter Kurti, Director of the Culture, Prosperity & Civil Society program at CIS and co-editor of Beneath the Southern Cross.

    This recording captures their insights and reflections on the key issues shaping Australia's future. #Australia #AustralianPolitics #VoiceReferendum #IdentityPolitics #SocialCohesion #AusPol #WarrenMundine #CulturalDebate #Populism #Unity #IndigenousVoice #Referendum2023 #NationalIdentity #BreakingNews #TrendingNow #PoliticalDebate #CurrentAffairs
