Warami! Budyari bayady’unya yagu (good to speak to you today)!
Recorded on the western beach of K’Gari we discuss the island’s history, dingoes and significant dates up until the 1967 referendum. We touch briefly on the laws that sit behind stolen generations. Listeners are even given homework to determine who in their family has been born a human by Australia’s constitutional standards.
Listen in as Country gets a little vocal at times, illustrating her passion and strength, while Tammy and Nathan discuss some pivotal points in what we now call Australia’s history. Including Tammy being the first generation in her family to be recognised as human at birth.
Next episode we jump into some questions and answers as we take a breather from the heavier stuff. Submit yours via the Q&A link or voice message in the episode links.
