It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials.Richard DennissFrom extreme weather to soaring bills, fossil fuels are burning you twice.Australia Institute research has found climate change is increasing the cost of living, and it is fossil fuel companies at fault. Energy, insurance and food are all getting more expensive, and the one group paying none of the costs are the giant fossil fuel exporters who are causing the problem in the first place. Meanwhile, all sides of politics agree that there is no gas shortage in Australia, with the Coalition proposing a tax on gas exports. Richard Denniss, Executive Director at the Australia Institute, breaks down the issues, solutions, and what can be done about it.

CLIMATE ACTION SHOWJuly 15th 2024 (repeat)PRODUCED BY Vivien LangfordTAMBORAN AGM - "DON'T FRACK THE NT"andPACIFIC CLIMATE WARRIORS TOUR GOMEROI COUNTRYGUESTS:Aunty Rhonda Dixon-Madden - Welcome to countryTamika Sadler and Larissa Baldwin-Roberts - Get UpMilima May -Larrakia  and Bradley Farrar- Alawa   from Beetaloo  who travelled from NT to this AGM of TamboranDr Emma Skowronski - Doctors for the EnvironmentThanks to organisers from 350.org, AYCC and Get Up!Pacific Climate Warriors Gabriel Veigaunavinaka in FijiJacybnta Fa'Amau in Australia In early November, Gomeroi and Gamilaraay traditional owners, Pacific Climate Warriors and activists, school strikers, local farmers, Move Beyond Coal community members and more came together on Gomeroi country in north-west NSW. Together, we shared stories of resistance and resilience, built deeper relationships and stood in solidarity with Gomeroi & Gamilaraay custodians - whose land is being exploited by fossil fuel companies such as Whitehaven Coal and Santos.This is a recount of what happened over the course of that special weekend - the stories that were told, the fights that were shared, and the solidarity built between communities. (Thanks to Move Beyond Coal)When country expands beyond what your eyes can comprehend, melting into the horizon, it's beyond beautiful, and quite indescribable. This is what I experienced as I watched the landscapes change towards our destination, the colours of the trees and land changing every so often. I knew from this point, that the trip to Narrabri on Gomeroi country, where devastating coal and gas extraction projects are widespread, would be one to remember. On arrival, we were welcomed by Gomeroi custodian Karra Kinchela and her family, by the Namoi river, as the wind rustled through the trees and soon after, embraced the young dancers and Karra's cousin, Clinton Lamb, who led the welcome to country. The stars eventually dressed the night sky as the night crept in, whilst the Pacific Climate Warriors thanked those who welcomed us with their own traditional fijian kava ceremony. Joy and laughter filled the campsite of our initial meeting place, which would reflect the real essence of the people who were fighting for Gomeroi country in Narrabri.Our second day on Gomeroi country, Karra showed us around, first at a site in the Pilliga Forest where water is filtered through to the underground water and finds its way to sea. She talked about how even on country that is considered freshwater, it is still connected to saltwater, and that whatever happens on her country is inherently connected to all countries. This lit up the fire in many people and for some, only added wood to the fire. There were direct connections being made between the effects coal and gas companies like Whitehaven Coal and Santos had on Narrabri and those close by, but also to the ocean and the Pacific Islands.Karra continued the tour by taking us to the front gates of Santos' Lee Wood gas facility.. She described how mining companies enjoy interacting with communities in order to claim, through social licensing, that those communities support their plans. Karra explained that continuing to participate in rallies and actions for Gomeroi country is one of the best ways to combat these false claims of support. She went on to explain how Whitehaven Coal, with numerous coal mines in the area with plans to expand, has eaten a lot of their country. Whitehaven promises all of these jobs and benefits to the community and Indigenous peoples, but these promises are only fallacies, with only a select few hired; their attempt to divert everyone's attention away from the reality that they are not only destroying country, but endangering the lives of those who live in the towns where they mine.We then headed to Maules Creek for lunch, where we were joined by one of the local Gamilaraay elders, Uncle Neville Sampson, who alongside a few other locals who have been fighting fossil fuel projects in their community for decades  explained the history of their fights. Uncle Neville talked about his resilience, and the resilience of those who continue to ensure a future for his people.After lunch, there was an opportunity to visit one of the local farms, and I put my hand up straight away. Being from a small village myself, from a remote island, I wanted to explore what life looked like right next to a coal mine. I remember most of my childhood in my village of Bauz, on Mer Island, in what is colonially known as the Torres Strait. Being from somewhere so remote, with a close knit community, I wondered if I could see a reflection of home amongst the tour, whether in the landscapes or the people. On the tour, we stopped every so often, learning what it takes to farm in Narrabri, about pink slugs and the houses and lands that were sold due to people getting extremely sick from not just the dust in the air from the mines but the gas released from the explosions. One of the farms belonged to a elderly woman, who was constantly sick due to the fumes, and had eventually sold her land and house, which now remains empty. Mining giants seem to have every right to not only harm the environment, but even the people who live within the environment it wants to destroy. After visiting the farm, and patting horses whilst learning about how climate change has even affected what farmers choose to grow now, we returned to Maules Creek renewed and even more passionate about stopping Whitehaven Coal.On our last day, we held an action at  sunrise - in front of Whitehaven Coal's Tarrawonga coal mine. When we arrived at the mine, what was in front of me was not only confronting, but made me feel both physically and spiritually ill. How could anyone devour a land and make it so baron, how could anyone harm country in such a vicious and heartless way, knowing that this land is so inherently connected to Gomeroi people? The trauma that the land experiences translates into real trauma for those who descend from these lands. When you kill or harm a land, you kill or harm it's people. Comprehending this tragedy, one that is paid for, that seeks the destruction of this country to gain profit, was difficult, but it was a reality that had to be acknowledged. It is our reality, and thus our responsibility to ensure that Karra, her family, her people, are able to live, not just survive, on their country, safe and sound. We shared stories, songs and dances in front of the mine, whilst mining security guards watched us as they patrolled the parameters. I couldn't help but mourn for country, but I could also feel the strength of everyone in this space, especially the Gomeroi mob who were so kind and gracious in inviting us to their country to see the truth of this place with our own eyes. Together, in times of crisis, when politicians let us down, we must rally together, allowing our communities to speak for themselves. We can see hope in the First Nations communities fighting to protect the country from new coal and gas projects. We see it in the global demands from Pacific leaders for no new coal and gas, phase out plans and renewables expansion. I remember some of my last words with Uncle Neville, he told me to keep fighting, but to also remember, that I am stronger, and that no matter what, Gomeroi country is who he is, and he will always know and be a part of its land, water and sky. In solidarity, we can protect this country.With Kindness and Au Esuau,Meleika on behalf of Move Beyond CoalP.S. Now more than ever, we need to all stand together and show our politicians that we are building a movement that will outmatch the power of coal and gas corporations like Whitehaven Coal and Santos, who are destroying Gomeroi sacred country and willingly contributing to devastating climate impacts in the Pacific and more.Join Move Beyond Coal teams and grassroots climate groups across the country for a Week of Action from 4-12 December(link is external), to take action in our communities to Turn Up the Heat on Labor.Move Beyond Coalhttps://www.movebeyondcoal.com/

In  Episode 148,  Ben chats with Deb Fernando, who is quite possibly the only Indigenous behaviour analyst in all of Australia.  Deb is a proud Bigambul, Gomeroi woman with strong connections to far northwest NSW within the Gamilaraay language nation. She has 30 years' experience working with First Nations communities throughout Australia, including urban, rural, and remote locations.   Deb started her career as a chef, then worked in government organisation troubleshooting major problems in servicing First Nations people in remote communities. She then went on to work with the University of South Australia where her team of researchers received the Vice Chancellors award for excellence in engaging in communities. Moving from SA back to New South Wales she began working with the SAX institute as the Study manager to progress their First Nations child health research project in urban and rural children's health. Within a short time, they established the project in five major Aboriginal Medical services, which identified the gaps in services to First Nations children within these areas. One highlight was establishing ongoing specialized services such as hearing and speech therapy for First Nations families.  At the age of 50 Deb embarked on my academic career completing my BA and Honors in psychological science at Southern Cross University, continuing her studies in 2020 she completed a Master's in Education in Applied Behavioural Analysis at Monash University. Whilst studying she started to work as a positive behavioural therapist practitioner with The Center for Positive Behavioural support where she held a position as a Behavioural support practitioner.  Over the years Deb has been looking and searching for the most appropriate services for First Nations peoples to assist in closing the gap between First Nations people and Non-First Nations peoples.  Deb has a passion for applied behaviour analysis and therapies that take a holistic approach to addressing the needs of First Nations families.  Due to the impacts of cultural loading, she received over her working career she ended her journey of working for others and started her own business “FeatherWay Road”. Here Deb collaborates with families to establish an environment where everyone feels included, supported, and empowered. Working with neurodiverse children, she embraces their unique strengths, their culture, and challenges to cultivate an inclusive and supportive learning environment.  ABA has been one of the many highlights of her academic career. I have seen and experienced the solid sustainable results this has on families and individuals.  Continuing Education Credits (https://www.cbiconsultants.com/shop) BACB: 2.0 Learning IBAO: 2.0 Cultural QABA: 2.0 DEI Contact: debfern54@hotmail.com Behaviour Speak Podcast Episodes Referenced Grant Bruno https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-37-the-realities-of-autism-in-first-nations-communities-in-canada-with-grant-bruno-phd-candidate/ Louis Busch  https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-11-the-treatment-of-life-threatening-pica-with-louis-busch-bst-abs-hc-med-bcba/ Jordyn Burleson  https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-130-the-tonowanda-seneca-behavior-technician-with-jordyn-burleson-rbt/ Valerie Clack https://www.behaviourspeak.com/e/episode-117-the-lakota-bcba-with-valerie-clack-ma-bcbalba/

Rob Waters, Gomeroi poet and storyteller and the current Australian Poetry Slam champion joined me for a rich and deep conversation about an all-encompassing spirituality that exists beyond the boxes of a compartmentalised life. Rob shares about the grounding role of Country and Story from a First Nations perspective. We then explore the prophetic role of the poets in speaking truth in an unjust world, while also acknowledging that listening ought to precede speaking. Towards the end of the conversation Rob shares two powerful poems and some particularly poignant and challenging stories. There's great wisdom here for those who take the time to open their hearts and listen.

Amy and Yumi Stynes reflect on the generational cycles that shape us, and in spite of the challenges, how beautiful they can be.

When Ghassan Hage's seminal study on racism in Australia, White Nation, was published 25 years ago, the Cronulla riots, Christchurch massacre and Black Lives Matter movement all lay ahead. Hear from a lively panel of writers and thinkers as they consider how racism and white privilege have changed here since then and what lies ahead. Anthropologist and social critic Ghassan Hage, Palestinian-Egyptian author and academic Randa Abdel-Fattah, The Sydney Morning Herald culture editor Osman Faruqi, and Gomeroi academic and author Amy Thunig are joined in conversation by global diaspora expert Andonis Piperoglou.

CLIMATE ACTION SHOWNOVEMBER 20TH 2023PRODUCED BY Vivien LangfordTAMBORAN AGM - "DON'T FRACK THE NT"andPACIFIC CLIMATE WARRIORS TOUR GOMEROI COUNTRYGUESTS:Aunty Rhonda Dixon-Madden - Welcome to countryTamika Sadler and Larissa Baldwin-Roberts - Get UpMilima May -Larrakia TO and Bradley Frarrar- Alawa Beetaloo TO who travelled from NT to this AGM of TamboranDr Emma Skowronski - Doctors for the EnvironmentThanks to organisers from 350.org, AYCC and Get Up!Pacific Climate Warriors Gabriel Veigaunavinaka in FijiJacybnta Fa'Amau in Australia In early November, Gomeroi and Gamilaraay traditional owners, Pacific Climate Warriors and activists, school strikers, local farmers, Move Beyond Coal community members and more came together on Gomeroi country in north-west NSW. Together, we shared stories of resistance and resilience, built deeper relationships and stood in solidarity with Gomeroi & Gamilaraay custodians - whose land is being exploited by fossil fuel companies such as Whitehaven Coal and Santos. This is a recount of what happened over the course of that special weekend - the stories that were told, the fights that were shared, and the solidarity built between communities. (Thanks to Move Beyond Coal) When country expands beyond what your eyes can comprehend, melting into the horizon, it's beyond beautiful, and quite indescribable. This is what I experienced as I watched the landscapes change towards our destination, the colours of the trees and land changing every so often. I knew from this point, that the trip to Narrabri on Gomeroi country, where devastating coal and gas extraction projects are widespread, would be one to remember.  On arrival, we were welcomed by Gomeroi custodian Karra Kinchela and her family, by the Namoi river, as the wind rustled through the trees and soon after, embraced the young dancers and Karra's cousin, Clinton Lamb, who led the welcome to country. The stars eventually dressed the night sky as the night crept in, whilst the Pacific Climate Warriors thanked those who welcomed us with their own traditional fijian kava ceremony. Joy and laughter filled the campsite of our initial meeting place, which would reflect the real essence of the people who were fighting for Gomeroi country in Narrabri.Our second day on Gomeroi country, Karra showed us around, first at a site in the Pilliga Forest where water is filtered through to the underground water and finds its way to sea. She talked about how even on country that is considered freshwater, it is still connected to saltwater, and that whatever happens on her country is inherently connected to all countries. This lit up the fire in many people and for some, only added wood to the fire. There were direct connections being made between the effects coal and gas companies like Whitehaven Coal and Santos had on Narrabri and those close by, but also to the ocean and the Pacific Islands. Karra continued the tour by taking us to the front gates of Santos' Lee Wood gas facility.. She described how mining companies enjoy interacting with communities in order to claim, through social licensing, that those communities support their plans. Karra explained that continuing to participate in rallies and actions for Gomeroi country is one of the best ways to combat these false claims of support. She went on to explain how Whitehaven Coal, with numerous coal mines in the area with plans to expand, has eaten a lot of their country. Whitehaven promises all of these jobs and benefits to the community and Indigenous peoples, but these promises are only fallacies, with only a select few hired; their attempt to divert everyone's attention away from the reality that they are not only destroying country, but endangering the lives of those who live in the towns where they mine.We then headed to Maules Creek for lunch, where we were joined by one of the local Gamilaraay elders, Uncle Neville Sampson, who alongside a few other locals who have been fighting fossil fuel projects in their community for decades  explained the history of their fights. Uncle Neville talked about his resilience, and the resilience of those who continue to ensure a future for his people. After lunch, there was an opportunity to visit one of the local farms, and I put my hand up straight away. Being from a small village myself, from a remote island, I wanted to explore what life looked like right next to a coal mine. I remember most of my childhood in my village of Bauz, on Mer Island, in what is colonially known as the Torres Strait. Being from somewhere so remote, with a close knit community, I wondered if I could see a reflection of home amongst the tour, whether in the landscapes or the people. On the tour, we stopped every so often, learning what it takes to farm in Narrabri, about pink slugs and the houses and lands that were sold due to people getting extremely sick from not just the dust in the air from the mines but the gas released from the explosions. One of the farms belonged to a elderly woman, who was constantly sick due to the fumes, and had eventually sold her land and house, which now remains empty. Mining giants seem to have every right to not only harm the environment, but even the people who live within the environment it wants to destroy. After visiting the farm, and patting horses whilst learning about how climate change has even affected what farmers choose to grow now, we returned to Maules Creek renewed and even more passionate about stopping Whitehaven Coal.On our last day, we held an action at  sunrise - in front of Whitehaven Coal's Tarrawonga coal mine. When we arrived at the mine, what was in front of me was not only confronting, but made me feel both physically and spiritually ill. How could anyone devour a land and make it so baron, how could anyone harm country in such a vicious and heartless way, knowing that this land is so inherently connected to Gomeroi people? The trauma that the land experiences translates into real trauma for those who descend from these lands. When you kill or harm a land, you kill or harm it's people.  Comprehending this tragedy, one that is paid for, that seeks the destruction of this country to gain profit, was difficult, but it was a reality that had to be acknowledged. It is our reality, and thus our responsibility to ensure that Karra, her family, her people, are able to live, not just survive, on their country, safe and sound. We shared stories, songs and dances in front of the mine, whilst mining security guards watched us as they patrolled the parameters. I couldn't help but mourn for country, but I could also feel the strength of everyone in this space, especially the Gomeroi mob who were so kind and gracious in inviting us to their country to see the truth of this place with our own eyes. Together, in times of crisis, when politicians let us down, we must rally together, allowing our communities to speak for themselves. We can see hope in the First Nations communities fighting to protect the country from new coal and gas projects. We see it in the global demands from Pacific leaders for no new coal and gas, phase out plans and renewables expansion. I remember some of my last words with Uncle Neville, he told me to keep fighting, but to also remember, that I am stronger, and that no matter what, Gomeroi country is who he is, and he will always know and be a part of its land, water and sky. In solidarity, we can protect this country.With Kindness and Au Esuau,Meleika on behalf of Move Beyond Coal P.S. Now more than ever, we need to all stand together and show our politicians that we are building a movement that will outmatch the power of coal and gas corporations like Whitehaven Coal and Santos, who are destroying Gomeroi sacred country and willingly contributing to devastating climate impacts in the Pacific and more. Join Move Beyond Coal teams and grassroots climate groups across the country for a Week of Action from 4-12 December, to take action in our communities to Turn Up the Heat on Labor.Move Beyond Coalhttps://www.movebeyondcoal.com/

 *Content Warning: This episode of Doin' Time contains audio images and discussion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died. First up on today's program, Marisa speaks with Pamela Curr, longtime advocate of refugees and asylum seekers, condemning the disgusting display outside Victoria's Parliament on Saturday, where neo-nazis dressed in black held an anti-immigration rally, and were met with a large counter-protest. They discuss some of the appalling media coverage demonising these anti-fascist protestors, and the right's creation of division in Australia's political landscape.  Each year, hundreds of people around the country gather at Myall Creek on the June long weekend to commemorate the premeditated and unprovoked massacre of Wirrayaraay women, children and older men by a group of 12 stockmen on Myall Creek Station on June 10, 1838. Marisa interviews Keith Munro, Gomeroi co-chair of the Friends of Myall Creek committee (and newly-appointed Director of First Nations Art and Cultures at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia) about their upcoming memorial commemoration of the massacre, held yearly since 2000 over the June long weekend, and other events they have planned for the weekend. He also discusses healing, memory, truth-telling, and what makes Myall Creek unique in our colonial history. See the full list of Friends of Myall Creek events this Friday 9th - Sunday 11th June here.  Last up on the show, Marisa invites Cheryl Axleby (Co-Chair of Change the Record) to discuss the ACT Government's delays in raising the age to 14, defying advice from Aboriginal, legal and human rights organisations, and how it is too little too late - risking exposing an entire generation of children to the quicksand of this country's punitive and discriminatory criminal legal system. They also talk about the need for Aboriginal-led design and delivery of culturally appropriate diversionary programs to break the intergeneral cycle of incarceration for our younger generations. Head to www.3cr.org.au/dointime for full access to links and previous podcasts.

Part 2 with Proud Wiradjuri woman Kylie Tarleton and proud Gomeroi man Daniel Jack is full of education, and Mark becomes the interviewed as he shares a story of his past and is challenged by Kylie and Daniel to unpack his historical beliefs and behaviours towards Aboriginals. From 'not being Aboriginal enough' to navigating life in two worlds, and experiencing the traumas associated with the naming of traditional lands after white settlers to the celebration of Invasion Day/Australia Day, this episode opens up and asks questions that should be part of what Kylie calls the '1000-hour conversation' to create real understanding, diversity and inclusion.

Kylie Tarleton is a proud Wiradjuri woman and Daniel Jack is a proud Gomeroi man who share their experiences of growing up Aboriginal and how this has shaped them to be the humans they are and the work they do today. They share the highs and lows from the strong connection to the land and cultural support of mob to choosing when and when not to wear their 'Aboriginal backpack' and being told they need to be 'more Aboriginal'. This is an episode full of education, awareness and why creating inclusion at times can result in exclusion. Both have identified roles at TAFE NSW and love to connect and share their stories and how to truly embrace the 60,000+ years of the Aboriginal way of embracing connection, culture, and inclusion through lateral leadership.

Long before local authorities tried to ban sliced bread, Australia was home to the world's first bakers. Grindstones, some 65,000 years old, suggest Indigenous communities have been baking for millennia and there's an amazing effort to bring back this cultural knowledge and revive Indigenous grains. While Australia has had a fraught relationship with locally grown wheat, there's a growing movement to embrace Australian heritage grains, backed by open-minded chefs who want to knead such enduring flour into ultra-local pasta, pizza and bread.  This episode features Jacob Birch, Gamilaraay mari and researcher; Aunty Bernadette Duncan, Kamilaroy woman and coordinator of the Garragal Women's Language and Culture Network; Dr Angela Pattison, lead researcher on Indigenous Grasslands for Grains; Kerrie Saunders, Gomeroi woman and technician on Indigenous Grasslands for Grains; Paul Farag, executive chef of Nour and AALIA; Luke Finlay, Operations Manager of  Wholegrain Milling Co; and Paul van Reyk, author of True to the Land: A History of Food in Australia.  Image by Alana Dimou.

Welcome back to another episode of Beyond the Green Line. Today, our host, Shonelle Gleeson-Willey, talks with Susan Lyle, a retired farmer on the Liverpool planes. Susan is a community leader in the Liverpool Planes Action Group and has spent 16 years opposing coal mines on some of the most precious lands of Australia.We hear about Susan's fight against the eventually unsuccessful exploration licenses of BHP and Shenhua Watermark and a bit about what is next for the Liverpool Planes Action Group (formerly known as the Caroona Coal Action Group).Susan spent much of her life farming the Liverpool planes of Northwest NSW, which host highly fertile, self-mulching black soils.In 2006, BHP acquired a license to mine coal beneath the planes, which would have destroyed groundwater and compromised the fertile land.Susan immediately began partnering with indigenous Gomeroi people in their opposition to the mines, as many sacred sites exist in the area.They organized a year-long human blockade to prevent BHP's attempts to move through the area, and media outlets picked up on the story, giving BHP some very effective negative attention.BHP's final decision to cancel their plans for the mine was motivated by finally realizing how difficult the location would be. Subsidence and water filling the mines would have posed significant challenges. The government offered to repurchase the license, citing risks to the region's agricultural future and underground aquifers. Even when the license was granted, it included an assessment that listed threatened species and water resource impact, which effectively made it impossible for them to carry out a profitable business. Then, the mine proposal went to the NSW Mining and Petroleum Gateway Panel and failed their evaluation.So, why did it take about eight more years to get shut down after that? Susan shares that the almighty dollar influenced this and that the public attention her action group garnered helped turn the tide.She also asserts that the departments of water, agriculture, and others should communicate before any permissions are granted and exercise more rigorous pre-planning.Another entity, the Shenhua Watermark Mine, was granted an exploration license in 2008 on the Liverpool planes.The Caroona Coal Action group went to bat against this as well, working very closely with the Gomeroi people and other action groups, and won once more - exposing a lack of transparency and flawed reporting on studies on Shenhua's part and a second government buy-back occurred in 2017.We can learn several important lessons from Susan and the action group's determination. She reminds us to concentrate on the issues that will make the most convincing arguments. She also emphasizes the importance of independent information and remembering the significance of the cause whenever things get tiring.We will also hear about the Liverpool Planes Action Group's newest fight, in which Susan says: “Good luck, government.”

CONTENT NOTE: This episode contains discussion of racism, colonisation, and reference to Aboriginal deaths from Covid. There is also a question that relate to stalking and threatening behaviour.Hello, and welcome to the Big Sister Hotline! I took a break last week because I was recording my audio book (HOW WE LOVE, out on November 2!) But I'm back this week, and joined by the very wonderful RACHEL MCPHAIL! Rachel is a proud Gomeroi woman and activist, whose campaign to establish a database of First Nations place names in addresses very quickly became one of the most popular petitions on Change.org.In this episode, Rachel talks about the importance of preserving the knowledge of Aboriginal elders, and deferring to Aboriginal leadership. We discuss how systemic change is possible if we just have political will. From Little Sisters, we answer questions about how to overcome heartbreak (with no small amount of help from Taylor Swift), and how patriarchy has conditioned girls and women to see relationships as being the thing that completes them rather than something that complements their life. We also address a question about concerning behaviour from a wannabe male suitor.

It was my great pleasure to chat with Gomeroi woman, Rach McPhail today. Rach is the brains, heart and hard work behind @place_names_in_addresses campaign, advocating for the use of traditional place names in addresses. The campaign has gained huge momentum, going from an idea in 2020 to the recent move by Australia Post to include traditional place names in their guidelines for addressing mail. We talk about how Rach turned an idea into a reality, how she feels about being a leader, her experience of discovering her Aboriginal heritage in her thirties, why it matters for indigenous and non-indigenous people to see traditional place names in mainstream use, and lots more. Honestly, I could have chatted with Rach all day. Connect with Rach on Instagram at instagram.com/place_names_in_addressesSign the petition for Australia Post to collate a comprehensive and accurate database of traditional place names, by consulting with Elders and First Nations knowledge-holders of each Country here:https://www.change.org/p/australia-post-add-traditional-place-names-to-australian-addresses-and-create-a-database-of-traditional-place-namesAnd see Australia Post's updated guidelines here: https://auspost.com.au/sending/check-sending-guidelines/addressing-guidelines

In this very special episode of Always Was, Always Will be our stories, I sit down with Gomeroi and Muruwari filmmaker and journalist, Allan Clarke to discuss his new project, 'The Bowraville Murders.' This documentary investigates one of Australia's worst unsolved murder cases that has been marred by systemic racism – the 1990-91 serial killings of three Aboriginal children, Evelyn, Colleen and Clinton. They were all taken from the same street in the rural town of Bowraville NSW, all killed within five months of each other and all of their remains found off the same dirt track. For 30 years, the victims' families have fought a courageous battle for justice that is now being passed to the next generation. In recent weeks, with the surge of the black lives matter movement and discussions of injustice faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in our country today, many have come looking for ways to truly make a difference - as you will hear Allan say, truth telling about cases such as these is a vital first step. Which can also followed by financially supporting projects such as this. The documentary team require a further $20k to make this production a reality, that will be broadcast on SBS in 2021, so if you are moved and haunted by this story, as we are, we ask that you donate any amount you can to the Bowraville Murders documentary crowdfunding campaign here: https://documentaryaustralia.com.au/project/the-bowraville-murders/ Thank you to Allan and the whole team behind the Bowraville Murders Documentary, for your dedication to truth telling and justice.

She looks to the role of hope in our eleventh hour, discussing how storytelling charts triumphs and tragedies while the clock ticks on.

I’ve been on this little quest talking to men from different fields, generations and life experiences about their ideas of manhood and masculinity. I’ve shared on previous episodes how for me it’s partly motivated by being a father of two sons. I really want to teach them that there isn’t a one size fits all approach to being a boy or a man. My guest in this episode, Rob Waters, shares this beautiful story of looking up to his own son, and the way he chose to challenge some of the negative versions of masculinity and model a different story.Rob is a uni lecturer, a poet and a storyteller, and he uses this idea of the big story with a capital S, the one that goes back beyond one generation or moment in time. It’s so easy for us to have these conversations and ignore the fact that we come from a bigger story, a longer history, and if we care about the future, it’s worth listening to the wisdom of the past.Presented by the Central Coast Council and developed by Lead by StoryHost: Will SmallCo-Host: Hannah GierhartEditing: Sienna AloisioMusic: Josh Corkill
