Last week Ngalia elder Kado Muir addressed the United Nations expert mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, speaking about Western Australia's outdated Aboriginal Heritage laws, and the state government's failure to redress the problems that allowed Juukan Gorge to be destroyed. Kado Muir's voice joins the Kimberley Land Council, the WA Alliance of Native Title Representative Bodies and Service Providers, the Australian Archaelogical Association, and the Australian Association of Consulting Archaeologists, who are all concerned about what has been called a “façade of modernisation”. Today on Understorey, Adrian Glamorgan brings you ANTAR's John McBain, who adds to these many voices by calling for the McGowan government to act on our shared cultural and human rights obligations. Will Aboriginal people be allowed to speak freely, "straight up," and able to say no? Photo: Juukan Gorge, by Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura Aboriginal Corporation (arr. A Glamorgan)

Listeners last year might remember our series produced on location in the spectacular Kimberley region of Western Australia. This year, the Kimberley is coming to us – through an award-winning documentary film that premiered nationwide in February. It's called Undermined: Tales from the Kimberley. Australia's vast Kimberley region is under threat, with the ‘old industrial' model of mining, pastoralism and irrigated agriculture driving an unprecedented land grab. The film investigates the politics of an area now forebodingly branded ‘the future economic powerhouse of Australia', including what this means for the country's First People and their unique cultural landscapes. The world premiere sold out all screenings at the Melbourne International Film Festival in late 2018, and it's been cleaning up awards at film festivals around the country since. Young Aboriginal leader Albert Wiggan is a key protagonist and co-producer of the film. He's also an Indigenous Ranger, sits on a number of boards including the Kimberley Land Council, and is a world class musician who has toured with the likes of John Butler. In this watershed moment, he sees opportunity for a ‘meaningful conversation' about a future that is more fitting for the Kimberley, and beyond. Anthony caught up with Albert just after he'd introduced the West Australian premiere to a full house in Perth.

This week's guest is Labor Member for Carrum Sonya Kilkenny. We found out about how her mother and father shaped her political values, and how moving to Boston opened her eyes about inequality.

We discuss how proud she is of the amazing strides that have been taken for the people of Carrum, and the whole sand-belt, since the election of the Andrews Labor Government in 2014.

TURN ON, TUNE IN, EVOLVE… In the 1950s corporations used psychedelics as creativity tools... can modern companies – and strategic individuals – use psychedelics to help solve some of the most pressing problems of our time? Can a global psychedelic village think its way out of planetary crisis, or get back into Gaian union? Can we all have the shared vision of a psychedelic utopia if we all have different psychedelic experiences? Is psychedelic elitism a danger and is our grasping at utopias falling prey to it? Should we be dosing Steven Hawking, and the world intelligentsia or should they be volunteering for the front lines of consciousness expansion? With a sense of urgency building on planet earth, is a NEW type of psychedelic revolution our best hope for planetary survival? Experiential journalist Rak Razam asks this provocative question to a panel of experts at the Entheogenesis Australis 2010 conference including: Rick Doblin (President of MAPS, the Multi-discipline Association of Psychedelic Studies), Henry Cox (senior anthropologist at the Kimberley Land Council), Joseph Gelfer (author and researcher in the School of Political and Social Inquiry at Monash University), Torsten Wiedermann (Shaman Australis)and Carl Turney (EGA).
