The countdown to the Voice referendum is on - it is only three weeks away this Saturday. This week we saw a fragmentation of the No campaign with a dispute over the issue of treaty, as well as a powerful endorsement of the Yes case from one of Australia’s greatest sporting heroes. 

Right now, the Voice dominates debate, but in a month the political caravan will be moving on, whatever the result of the referendum, and post-referendum politics is likely to centre around the economy, and its uncertain future.

Chief political correspondent David Crowe and economics correspondent Rachel Clun join Jacqueline Maley to discuss the week in politics.
