This week on Blak Law: Tribal Edition (BLTE) – After a decade as a fierce independent voice in the Northern Territory Parliament, Yolŋu leader Yiŋiya Mark Guyula has stepped down, marking the end of an era for Indigenous representation in the Top End.Gaan-Yarra, Yirrilam, and Murrumu unpack Mark Guyula’s long-term commitment to Indigenous rights, the tireless advocacy for self-determination, and his frustrating battle against policies he recently described as "oppressing and destroying our communities." But as he leaves the political arena to return to his family and focus on community leadership, many critical issues remain unresolved, and Aboriginal people across the Territory are still experiencing deep turmoil.Coming to you via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service, right here on BBM 98.7FM!
