Heart On My Sleeve

Charles Prouse on The Voice to Parliament: the mental health impact of "NO"


Listen Later

Charles Prouse is a Nyikina man from the Kimberley, Western Australia, with over 20 years' experience in Indigenous affairs across Australia. From public policy and corporate consulting to chairing the boards of inequality-oriented charities and authoring his book, "On the Voice". His most recent work has focused on campaigning for The Voice to Parliament, championing the Yes vote with the goal of returning to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples a small part of what was originally always theirs.


The episode covers:

  • how the voting process is impacting Indigenous Australians
  • removing the us vs. them mentality and addressing disadvantage on a large scale
  • addressing the fears that perpetuate a "No" vote
  • his personal struggle and the story that drives the mission
  • why voting "Yes" doesn't mean that you lose
  • how loss aversion is clouding our judgment
  • the mental health crisis in Indigenous Australians

  • A friendly reminder, that if you're eligible, please ensure to vote this upcoming weekend, Saturday 14 October 2023.
