The tongue-in-cheek video, where one actor suggested taking the TV remote away from baby boomers, is coupled with a call to action to younger generations to convince older family members to vote yes.
A team of Western Australian and Victorian creatives are attempting to take the heat out of the Voice debate with humour, urging children and grandchildren of Baby Boomers to “groom a Boomer” to vote Yes at the October 14 referendum.
“I said, ‘Ok, Mum, I will change your iPad back from Danish to English if you read this little booklet on the Voice,’ ” one actor says in the video, which was filmed in Victoria in the past four weeks. “When I saw that, and I saw people just opting out, just not finding out, not asking, not having conversations and that being enough, I found that really sad,” Linton said.
“ We took a humorous tone is because I think this can be a really rich and beautiful and interesting conversation in Australia. And, if people are avoiding it, I think we’re missing a trick,” he said.
