Australia: Voice details, climate deal, anti-trans furore, Obama-mania

From Nine To Noon, 9:45 am on 29 March 2023

Australia correspondent Karen Middleton joins Kathryn to talk about the Prime Minister unveiling details of the wording to the proposed change to Australia's constitution to formally recognise Indigenous people and establish a permanent advisory body known as the Voice.

A deal has been reached that will force big-emitting companies in Australia to decarbonise, after the Albanese government struck a deal with the Greens.

The federal government is working on legislation to ban the Nazi salute and other Nazi symbols amid controversy over Posie Parker's protest last week, which has left a Liberal MP from Victoria narrowly avoiding being expelled from her party for attending the rally.

And former US President Barack Obama is in the country on a speaking tour. 

Karen Middleton is chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper.
