NATIONAL TALK BLACK – 17/11/2025

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

Uncle John Baxter, a respected Latja Latja and Narungga Elder, and participant of the Unfinished Business exhibition and 2025 AM Mob at the Museum Cultural Resident. Unfinished Business brings together the voices of 30 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living with disabilities from remote, regional, and urban communities across Australia. Honouring story-telling truths, the exhibition is a thought-provoking recognition of the ongoing impact of colonisation, and a call for meaningful social and systemic change. Each participant determined how their visual story would be shared, using their own words, chosen narrators and imagery to give audiences direct insight into their personal experiences.

Gary Addo, talking about a recent incident at McDonalds Woree here in Gimuy Cairns. A conversation about exposure through the tool of social media and how although it can be helpful for connection, it can also be harmful.
