VOICE TO PARLIAMENT HOT TOPIC AT NATIONAL ETHNIC BROADCASTERS’ CONFERENCE

At the National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcaster’s Council (NEMBC) Conference held in Sydney this week, the Voice to Parliament was a hot topic of conversation.

Ngaarda Media’s Chez Coulthard was the only Aboriginal person in attendence, and said it was good to hear a range of views on the Voice.

He said one attendee had concerns the Voice would “divide the nation even further.”

Mr Coutlhard said he told the conference: “The nation’s already been divided for years.”

“What shocked me the most was that I was sitting in a room full of ethnic broadcasters and these were all different races who at some time have faced discrimination, so I thought they would have our back,” he said.
