Broken Heart: A True History of the Voice Referendum
Description
An insider’s account of the 2023 Voice Referendum – from hopeful beginnings to heartbreaking defeat.
In Broken Heart, constitutional lawyer Shireen Morris unpacks the complex story behind Australia’s failed bid to recognise Indigenous peoples through a constitutional Voice. Drawing on over a decade of advocacy with Noel Pearson, Morris explores how a proposal born in compromise was derailed by political pressure, misinformation, and betrayal.
A candid and deeply informed narrative of what went wrong—and why it matters—Broken Heart is essential reading for those seeking to understand the path to reform and the lessons for the future.
