Australia Says YES Day – 15 Nov 2017 – The Afternoon Show Interviews – Alfie Arcuri

Interview, News & Politics, Society & Culture

On YES day – 15th November 2017- JOY ran special programming all day and that included a series of interviews during our afternoon Music Mix program which was hosted by John Wintle with special guest host Tom Walsh from Gogglebox Australia.  This podcast includes the interview with Alfie Arcuri  who’s an openly gay Australian singer-songwriter best known for winning the fifth series of The Voice Australia in 2016. He talks about his reactions to the vote result and his marriage equality songs.

The 15th of November will forever be remembered as the day Australia voted YES for Marriage Equality. This day marked the end of the tumultuous postal survey that asked every member of the Australian public if Same Sex Marriage should be legalised. The results came back with 61.6% per of Australian’s in favour of marriage Equality. An exceptional result for the YES Campaign and all members of the LGBTQIA+ Community.
