NATIONAL TALK BLACK – 03/02/2025
On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:
Peter Rinaudo, State Emergeny Services (SES) Regional Community Engagement and Recruitment Officer in Far Northern Region, talking about the partnership that has energised SES heroes or disasters. Queensland’s energy companies, Powerlink Queensland, alongside Energex and Ergon Network (part of Energy Queensland) have partnered to support SES volunteers through a $300,000 sponsorship. The 2024-25 Energising Queensland SES partnership is the largest investment into equipment for the State’s volunteers since it began in 2014. This funding enables SES groups across Queensland to apply for funds to buy vital equipment to enhance the critical service they provide their communities. Applications are now open for SES groups with delivery of new equipment to commence late February.
Tameka Collins, the Australian team Head of Delegation for the 2025 FISU Winter World University Games, talking about the Winter World University Games Conclude in Torino. The 2025 FISU Winter World University Games, also known as the XXXII Winter World University Games, or the 32nd Winter Universiade, and commonly known as Turin 2025 or Torino 2025, was a multi-sport event for student and youth athletes, held between 13–23 January 2025, in Turin, Italy. The small yet mighty squad of 20 UniRoos, led by Chef de Mission Tameka Collins, competed in six different events across 11 days, participating in no less than 13 gold medal races. Congratulations, Uniroos!

Danny Howard, Playing “Keith” in Jacky, talking about making his Belvoir debut in the Indigenous play “Jacky” at the Sydney Festival. Jacky’s a smart, enterprising young blackfella who has made a life for himself in Melbourne. He’s got the hang of the 21st century. Negotiating the gig economy? No worries. Slipping from office internships to cultural performances? No probs. Sex work? Pays the bills. But when Jacky’s unemployable little brother Keith rolls into town, Jacky’s various lives in the white world threaten to come undone. Praised for its wit, insight, and raw honesty, JACKY is a sharp and deeply moving play about identity and belonging. Don’t miss out! JACKY must close this Sunday (2 Feb).
