21.01.2022 The north coast is mourning the loss of Uncle Kevin Torrens who was a loved and respected Elder of the Western Bundjalung people. [Advisory: Posted with the per...mission of Mr Torrens' family] Most knew Mr Torrens as a softly spoken man, who brought a gentle but persistent persuasion to being a trailblazer, committed to improving the lives of his people. In 1982 when he was one of New South Wales' first Aboriginal teacher aides he started the preschool at Tabulam - and with parents and the Education Department provided a place for the Indigenous and non-Indigenous children of Tabulam to learn and play. For 12.5 years he was part of the Aboriginal cultural support and case management teams of the Balund-a Program, the world's only correctional facility where offenders are sent to live and work before they are sentenced, in a bid to keep them out of prison. He was a cultural mentor to residents and his work colleagues. The story in this video post was another pioneering achievement. When Mr Torrens' ageing father-in-law Ernie Hickling asked him to get back the lands of his ancestors, it seemed like an impossible mission, but he succeeded against all odds. That property called Jubal was among the first land purchases in the early years of the Indigenous Land Corporation's buy back scheme. "Those early ones are significant because in those first few years it was about building the Indigenous estate," Ms Button said. The team at ABC North Coast send our condolences to Mr Torrens' family, friends and the Bundjalung peoples.

09.01.2022 On Day 3 of #16daysofactivism we call on governments to STOP locking up Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and taking our mothers away. Our people are... the most incarcerated people in the WORLD and our women are the fastest growing prison population in the country. Overwhelmingly we see our women locked up for non-violent offences related to homelessness and poverty - often due to family violence. Instead of building prisons, governments must invest in our self-determined solutions and culturally safe services like FVPLSs. SHARE and help keep Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women's voices HEARD this #16days #16daysofactivism2020 #EndGenderBasedViolence #SaveFVPLS #OrangeTheWorld

01.01.2022 Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the beginning of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence. In compari...son to other women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are 34 times more likely to be hospitalised from family violence and 10 times more likely to die as a result of violent assault. Every day over the next 16 days we will be posting a square with a new action we are calling on state, territory and Commonwealth governments to take to end the national emergency of violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. This year's theme is: Orange the World: Fund Respond, Prevent, Collect! SHARE to spread the word. #16daysofactivism #EndGenderBasedViolence #SaveFVPLS #16days #16DaysOfActivism #16DaysOfActivism2020 #orangetheworld
