Bumma Bippera 98.7FM is the first and only indigenous radio service in Cairns.

Blak Law: Tribal Edition – In this episode, we unpack the critical concepts of consultation and accommodation with First Nations communities. Grounded in the legal duties outlined in Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution and the principles of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) from the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, we examine these frameworks from a distinctly First Nation perspective.

Join Serena Smith and her panel of guests as this episode explores what genuine consultation looks like and how to effectively prioritise First Nations’ self-governance in modern decision-making processes. See MoreSee Less
