National Talk Black 240624

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

The Honourable Lance McCallum MP, Minister for Employment and Small Businesses, Training and Skills Development and Youth Justice, talking about $7 million ‘life changing’ job creation program for First Nations Queenslanders. Up to 1,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples will benefit from a Miles Labor Government program that aims to create training and employment pathways for the state’s First Nations jobseekers. The program recognises that skills and training for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples will be more successful when solutions are designed and developed locally and supported by the community.

Archbishop Jeremy Greaves, Anglican Focus, has echoed the urgent call of Torres Strait Islander Traditional Owners to limit global average surface warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures following his recent visit to Poruma and Masig Islands. These measures include installing solar panels, keeping the very few vehicles well maintained, implementing a community containers collection program at the school and keeping the ocean rubbish free. You can visit the link below, to find out more information and ways to support!
