Torres Strait uncles continue their fight to protect their island homes

Two uncles from the Torres Strait will take their fight to protect their islands, to the full Federal Court.

Uncle’s Paul Kabai and Pabai Pabai, are appealing a Federal Court Justice ruling from earlier this year which found the commonwealth is not legally responsible for the impact the climate crisis is having on the Torres Strait.

The Uncles say rising sea levels have damaged culturally significant sites and are forcing Island communities to consider leaving their homes.

Other highlights include:

• Highly respected Nursing and Midwifery Professor Roianne West returns to country to mentor Indigenous nursing students.
• And, Bigambul and Mandandanj Author and Australian Society of Authors director Dub Leffler breaks down how AI companies train their models by stealing from Australian books.

This week’s episode is hosted by Harrison Pedersen.
