Featured Case Study

Facilitating the Darumbal People RNTBC’s AGM

Recently, I had the opportunity to work with the Darumbal People RNTBC, serving as the Independent Chair for their Annual General Meeting in Rockhampton, QLD. As the Traditional Owners of the Rockhampton area, the Darumbal People are a well-managed and financially strong organisation with engaged members, exciting opportunities, and a clear vision for the future.

News and Articles

News, featured editorial content and media highlights

Newspaper article discussing Australian election results and reactions.
I have a confession: I almost cast a donkey vote at last weekend’s federal elections. I was tempted to draw a smiley face on the ballot paper, not turn up, and just cop the $20 penalty. I’m not alone in feeling disillusioned with politics, not just here but globally. But then I remembered and was reminded by others: as Indigenous Australians, our right to vote was hard-won.
Newspaper article on repatriation of Aboriginal ancestors.
Walking through the Queensland Museum last Monday, I was shoulder to shoulder with school holiday crowds. Kids zigzagged and darted excitedly between display cabinets, parents marvelled, and families posed for selfies beside towering fossils in the “Dinosaurs Unearthed” exhibition; the new permanent display includes life-sized models, ancient bones, and digital recreations of creatures long extinct.
