ABC’s Own Audit Finds Bias in Its Coverage of The Voice

The Voice was a referendum to determine whether an indigenous “Voice to Parliament” should be enshrined in the Constitution. The official campaign period started on Aug. 30, 2023 and the vote occurred on Oct. 14, with 60.06 percent voting “no.”
