National Talk Black 090724
On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:
Karrina Nolan, co-Chair of the First Nations Clean Energy Network, talking about Ensuring a ready workforce for Australia’s clean energy transition. The transition to clean energy will require the creation of a skilled workforce to take up the new job and career opportunities. First Nations are critical partners in the clean energy transition, including in the establishment of the workforce required to service the sector. Karrina says this should be the final report for government and industry on enabling and achieving employment and training outcomes for First Nations people in the clean energy sector.
Caitlin Wilson, Class Actions Special Counsel for Sine Lawyers, talking about The new stolen generation of North Coast NSW, a Department failure. Shine Lawyers hosted a series of community information sessions in Coffs Harbour, Kempsey, and Grafton from July 3rd to July 5th, 2024. These sessions came in response to a plea for help for First Nations families from Grafton local, Michelle (Shelle) Cowan, who has passionately advocated for support for her community. Shine Lawyers invites all First Nations people who believe they have been impacted by foster care placement, abuse, or discrimination due to their race or descent to attend their community sessions as they strive for justice and accountability from the relevant Departments.
Patrick Churnside, Ngarluma Songman and Creator of “Tjaabi-Flood Country”, talking about Melville celebrating cultural interchange through debut of Tjaabi-Flood Country. A decade in the making, Tjaabi-Flood Country is a national contemporary intercultural music and theatre performance shedding light on the challenges and resilience of Aboriginal communities in the Pilbara region, both culturally and environmentally. The focal point of this narrative revolves around Ngarluma Songman Patrick Churnside, as he recounts his upbringing in the Pilbara region, depicting a diverse terrain stretching from the Great Sandy Desert to the verdant tablelands. Big hART is proud to present Tjaabi, an event supported by the City of Melville, which will take place at the newly refurbished City of Melville Main Hall.
