Shownotes Transcript

On this week’s episode, we hear from Aunty Miliwanga Wurrben - Rembarrnga Traditional owner, healer and artist. Aunty Miliwanga recently spoke at a panel event called Voices from the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis, a community gathering held at the Koorie Heritage Trust on Sunday 24th November as part of the Middle Arm Roadshow. The Roadshow saw a group of Traditional Owners, community organisers and experts travel to different cities to make an urgent call to action from the NT. Stop Middle Arm and redirect the $1.9 billion subsidy. The proposed Middle Arm gas and petrochemical hub will increase emissions in the NT by 75%, expose communities to serious illness and disease, destroy sacred First Nations lands and make the Territory unlivable. Aunty Miliwanga Wurrben speaks about what Country means to her and the kinship between First Nations peoples and the land, waters, and creatures.Song: Banatjarl - Ripple Effect Band
