NSW’s Long-Delayed Treaty Process, The Fight for First Nations Housing, Deaths in Custody, and getting back on Country
What a few weeks. Treaty talks finally begin in NSW. Blak filmmakers go to camera in South Australia. The housing crisis pushes Aboriginal issues into the national spotlight. And I had the chance to head back and spend some time on Yuin and Tharawal Country.
In this episode of Capital & Country, I talk about:
Treaty in NSW – The consultation process is finally underway. I reflect on what this means for community and why I’d love to be involved. Dr Todd Fernando.
Three First Nations Films Funded – I highlight Digital Abyss, The Secret, and Catchin’ Mumoo, currently in production thanks to support from South Australian Film Corporation. Shout out to creators like Lilla Berry, Joshua Barbo, Dylan Coleman — this is how culture moves forward.
Housing and the Cost of Living – I share the sharp insights of Paul Coe from Birribee Housing, who sees this crisis as a moment for long-overdue structural reform not just for housing supply, but for healing.
Back on Country – I spent time on Yuin and Tharawal Country with a close friend. We visited Bundanon and the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum, where I saw a pair of shell shoes like those my late Nan Marie Stewart used to make. A reminder that even in hardship, culture survives through hands, memory and care.
Deaths in Custody – I reflect on the life and legacy of TN, a visionary elder who died in custody last month. His death deserves more than an inquiry. It demands systemic change.
If you’ve been working on Treaty, housing, or truth-telling through art I want to hear from you. Let’s keep pushing the conversation forward.
