NATIONAL TALK BLACK – 16/12/2024
On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:
Councillor Danny Chapman, NSW Aboriginal Land Council Councillor for the South Coast Region, talking about the disappointing bag limits for cultural fishing. The NSW Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) is disappointed the NSW Government is persisting with keeping bag and possession limits for Aboriginal cultural fishing. The New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC) is committed to ensuring a better future for Aboriginal people by working for the return of culturally significant and economically viable land, pursuing cultural, social and economic independence for its people and being politically proactive and voicing the position of Aboriginal people on issues that affect them. Feedback on the draft Aboriginal Fishing Regulation closes on 16 February 2025.

Rodney Carter, DJAARA Group CEO, talking about DJAARA wins Telstra Business of the Year Award. DJAARA, together with their deadly enterprises, was announced Telstra’s Business of the Year – and also winner of the Indigenous Excellence category – at the Telstra Best of Business Awards. Telstra Best of Business Awards were created to celebrate the achievements of these small and medium-sized businesses, while giving them the opportunity to learn from Australia’s best business minds. Established in 2004 to uplift and empower Dja Dja Wurrung People, DJAARA has grown into a multi-million-dollar organisation that includes three enterprises: DJANDAK (natural resource management and design), DUMAWUL (creative arts and cultural tourism), and DJAKITJ (bush foods). DJAARA navigates systemic barriers, builds bridges, and finds ways to do things the Dja Dja Wurrung way. In November last year, DJAARA celebrated 10 years since the signing of their Recognition and Settlement Agreement with the State of Victoria. They reflected on the long journey to get there, and the decade of incredible achievements following that significant signing. A year on, they are the Telstra Business of the Year. They will continue to implement their vision for Dja Dja Wurrung People, Culture and Country – and to create positive outcomes for the broader community in Central Victoria. This recognition also provides a unique opportunity to make a positive impact for other mobs – in Victoria and nationally. Congratulations, DJAARA!
