  • S1E5: Constructive Conversations with Stan Grant [Episode 5]
    Nov 9 2023

    Australia has said an emphatic ‘no’ to a Voice To Parliament. The lack of support for the constitutional alteration was clear, with more than 60% of Australians voting against an Indigenous advisory body to parliament.

    Stan Grant and Amanda Robson come together for their final episode on the 2023 referendum. They discuss its defeat and what we, as a nation, can take away from the decision. They consider whether the media played a constructive role in educating Australians, or a destructive role to sink the vote.

  • S1E3: Constructive Conversations with Stan Grant [Episode 3]
    Oct 2 2023

    Fear-evoking language has been a mainstay of news headlines for decades.

    Words like "gruesome" "horror" and "catastrophic" evoke strong emotional responses in audiences, but they can also cause people to disengage.

    This week Stan and I, Amanda Robson, talk about how the media could be informing the public rather than causing division.

    Using a constructive approach, we talk about the upcoming referendum, discussing how potential changes to our constitution could be better explained and debated without the polarising rhetoric.

    We also have a constructive conversation about the global impact of NewsCorp in the week its chairman Rupert Murdoch steps aside to make way for his son Lachlan.
