Danille Talks to Gman on Brekky

BUSH LAW will be launched on 27th November at 6:30pm at Araluen Cinema. The film will be screened, followed by a facilitated expert panel discussion and then an open forum on the topic.

The film will not be presented as holding all the answers, but rather a seed for mutually empowered discussion on how Aboriginal and mainstream law can work together in effectively reducing crime in the NT Aboriginal population, hence the panel and forum following.

The panel will be comprised of a mixture of Indigenous leaders representing different tribes in Central Australia, Indigenous people who have experienced both legal systems in operation and can provide a birds eye view on their effectiveness or otherwise in addressing crime, representatives from Central Australian Aboriginal Legal Aid Service and former Alice Springs Magistrate Michael Ward, who will share his experience of taking Aboriginal law into consideration in granting bail and sentencing.

How can some Australian media, especially in Alice Springs continue to focus & speculate on financial accountability for Aboriginal Organisations while claiming to wave the banner of pushing people off supposed welfare mentality

CAAMA Supports higher skills in the workforce..

Kutcha is a Mutti Mutti man, born in Balranald, New South Wales, Australia. He was ’stolen’ at 18 months and denied his birthrite to grow with his family, to experience his culture and to live his identity. As a teenager he was reunited with his family and so his journey began to retrieve his identity and reclaim what was denied him, his family and his community. Kutcha visited CAAMA this week after a Concert in Alice Springs with Black Arm Band..

Catching up with this legend was CAAMA Radio broadcasters Celestine & Minungka
