National Talkblack 190822

We had:

George Leon, Queensland Police Liaison Officer and Kalkadoon Elder talking about how he is breaking down barriers and inspiring next gen of Indigenous police officers. George has been nominated this week for the 2022 QBANK Everyday Heroes Awards for taking strides to change the systemic and fractured relationship between Australia’s Indigenous communities and the police force.

Thomas E S Kelly, Karul Projects’ co-founder and director talking about Karul Projects’ Bold and Powerful Dance Performance in Cairns for one night only. Stopping in Cairns on Wednesday 7 September as part of its eight-stop tour of Queensland is a potent and powerful dance performance by Karul Projects that transforms the stage in a dramatic search for answers evading contemporary Australia and First Nations’ human rights.

Rhiannon Hardwick, Gas campaigner for Conservation council of WA, talking about ‘A referendum on the future of fossil fuels’: Record number of appeals against Woodside gas facility proposal’. A controversial fossil fuel proposal in Western Australia has attracted a record number of appeals from the general public in what is being called ‘a referendum’ on the future of fossil fuels in the state.
