The inside story of the 2023 Voice Referendum, from Yes to No

In late 2023, Australians voted 'No' to recognising Indigenous peoples through a constitutional Voice. Broken Heart unpacks the true, complex history of the referendum, illuminating how an alliance between Indigenous advocates and constitutional conservatives fractured under political pressure, and a proposal conceived in compromise was killed by partisan politics.
Told from the unique insider perspective of a constitutional lawyer who worked closely with Noel Pearson on the Voice for over a decade, this book analyses the mistakes of the government and 'Yes' advocates, the fickleness and ultimate intransigence of the right, and the betrayals and lies that led to the referendum's defeat.
Broken Heart tells a story of hope and tragedy. But its lessons will assist future reformers and leaders who want to make Australia a better place.
'This is the story of a broken heart and of a large one. Shireen Morris has written an indispensable account of the hard way of the constitutional reformer in this country. An enthralling tale of hope, commitment and goodwill, as well as mendacity, opportunism and betrayal.' Frank Bongiorno, author of Dreamers and Schemers
'Powerful and moving . . . Broken Heart is an erudite and forensic analysis of a nation-defining political campaign, ultimately destroyed by betrayal and self-interest. It challenges us to learn, reflect and remain energised if we are to become a better, fairer country.' Larissa Behrendt, host of Speaking Out
