The campaign raises awareness of the Online Safety Act 2021 – laws that protect Australians from severe online abuse, encompassing everything from the unauthorised sharing of explicit images to combating illegal and violent content, as well as addressing severe harassment and threats online. They are passionate about amplifying awareness and understanding of the protections available under this legislation and committed to ensuring that our mob, feel empowered and equipped to stay safe online.

Uncle Danny Chapman, Chair of the NSW Aboriginal Fishing Advisory Council, talking about how First Nations advocates have resolved to put traditional fishing rights under international spotlight. Indigenous fishers risk prosecution in NSW for exercising rights that are recognised under Commonwealth native title law. The International Indigenous Fishing Symposium, held at Kioloa in southern NSW at the weekend, was the second meeting of its kind after the Raporo Ainu people in Japan invited Indigenous fishing rights groups to meet on their traditional lands on Hokkaido Island last year. One of the resolutions of this year’s International Indigenous Fishing Symposium was to progress action through a collaborative approach to the United Nations.
Jack Reis, First Nations Cyber Security Expert, Calls on Community to Protect themselves Online against Cybercrime. Jack is urging First Nations people and community to take some simple steps to combat cyber criminals and keep themselves safe online with the launch of the Act Now, Stay Secure campaign by the Australian Government. With the tagline ‘What are you risking online?’ the campaign empowers all Australians to build their knowledge and skills to better protect themselves online, at a time when one cyber crime is reported every 6 minutes. The three simple actions that everyone is being encouraged to take include: Set up multi-factor authentication, Install software updates regularly and Create strong and unique passphrases.
