‘Hatred of politicians’ killed the Voice: Megan Davis
A key architect of the Voice referendum says racism played a role but was not as decisive as the public’s “hatred for politicians” and rejected claims symbolic recognition would have gained bipartisan support.
Megan Davis, one of the architects of the Voice referendum that was rejected by voters on October 14, has vowed to “keep going” with a grassroots movement even though she believes “reconciliation is dead”.
In her first interview since the referendum, Professor Davis told TheAustralian Financial Review that “we can’t allow the status quo just to kick back in”.
