NATIONAL TALK BLACK – 02/06/2025

On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:

Damian Griffis, First Peoples Disability Network (FPDN) CEO, talking about FPDN is demanding urgent, systemic action after the death of an Aboriginal man with a disability during NT police restraint. The First Peoples Disability Network (FPDN) is devastated and outraged at the death of a 24-year-old Aboriginal man with disability who lost consciousness and later died after being restrained by two Northern Territory Police officers inside Coles Alice Springs on Tuesday 27 May 2025. FPDN is the national peak organisation led by and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with disability. They advocate for the human rights of 60,000+ First Nations people with disability and their families and work to ensure policies, programs and services are culturally safe, accessible and anchored in self-determination.
