Welcome to season 8 of With All Due Respect!

As Australians prepare to vote in a referendum on an Aboriginal Voice in parliament, Michael Jensen and (newly Reverend Dr) Megan Powell du Toit speak with constitutional law expert Dr Joel Harrison about what it might mean, legally speaking.

They then discuss whether or not the church should be involved with politics at all - a thorny issue that Michael has had some recent experience with.

Finally on 'Through the Wardrobe', our hosts cast their eye over the controversy surrounding ABC journalist Annabel Crabb's Kitchen Cabinet program, and her decision to have some rather divisive guests on recent episodes.

WADR is hosted by Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen. It is part of the Undeceptions podcast network.

Help internally displaced people in Africa!

Disasters and conflicts have led to a record number of over 75 million internally displaced people, or IDPs, around the world. IDPs are people who have been forced to flee their homes but have not crossed international borders.

Almost half of all IDPs - more than the population of Australia and New Zealand combined - are in sub-Saharan Africa.

Most of the displaced have left everything behind: their homes, belongings, and livelihoods. They urgently need food, shelter, clothing, and trauma counselling. So Anglican Aid has launched a Forced to Flee Emergency Appeal to provide essential aid to IDPs in Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, and beyond. This aid will be distributed by local churches, who are sacrificially providing for the needs of the displaced, and pointing them to the God who is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
