The Fight for a Voice: Inside the case for ‘Yes’


Listen Later

The “Yes” campaign set out to accomplish a rare feat in Australian politics: to win a majority of Australians and a majority of states. That is, to win a referendum.

It began as a difficult task and has only become more gruelling as bipartisanship was lost and the polls turned.

But this is a grassroots campaign, with tens of thousands of volunteers attempting to reach Australians with face-to-face conversations in time to win a majority on polling day.

So how was the campaign built? And can it really overcome the huge challenge in time for Saturday’s vote?
