On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:Graeme Connors, Australian Country Musician, talking about Graeme Connors Announces Second Leg of his What next? Tour and New Single for Radio – The best Day of my Life. Australian songwriting icon Graeme Connors returns for the second leg of his What Next? Tour, celebrating his latest 12-track studio album (released on 31 October, 2025), and unveiling a new single to radio. With What Next?, Graeme Connors once again proves that even after 50 years, he remains an artist driven not by nostalgia, but by curiosity, creativity and the desire to keep exploring new ground. With the announcement of the new tour dates, a second radio single has been lifted from the album, with “The Best Day of My Life” now available for airplay. You can find out more via the link below! (Photo Credit: Graeme Connors)graemeconnors.com/Karen Keane, JK’s Bulk Bag & Trailer Hire TI Co-Founder, talking about Torres Strait Business Expands to Make Regular Green Waste Disposal and Transportation Possible on Thursday Island. JK’s Bulk Bag and Trailer Hire Service has been providing a subscription green waste pickup service for community members across Thursday Island in the Torres Strait for almost three years, addressing an immediate need for accessible transport for green and household waste in a remote region where waste management services and regulations differ significantly from the mainland. The business recently received a grant from Esparq, the Indigenous-led venture engine, which has been directly used to purchase a second trailer. This trailer will enable JK’s Bulk Bag and Trailer Hire Service to expand its services and meet growing demand across the island.

A ‘move-on’ direction is a power that a police officers have to direct a person to move from a public area or place even if the person has not yet committed any offence. The idea behind such a power is that it may prevent an offence being committed or unacceptable behaviour occurring. The Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000 enables a police officer to give people directions to ‘move on’ in certain circumstances. The police officer must tell the person (or group) the reason for being given a move-on direction. Failure to comply with a move on direction may lead to arrest. Further, contravening a direction without a reasonable excuse is an offence, and an individual found guilty of the offence is liable for a fine. 1 July 2026, the penalty unit value is $172.70. In a public place located in a safe night precinct – 60 penalty units ($10362). Otherwise – 40 penalty units ($6908)Have something happening in your community, and you want to talk about it, give us a call on 1800 422 416. Or Give us a text on 0457 140 550!We would also like to thank the Community Broadcasting Foundation and National Indigenous Australians Agency for their support here at BBM 98.7FM.Make sure to tune in Monday-Friday 11am-12pm QLD Time to stay up to date with the latest national events.
