Tuesday 6 October 2020, 05:45 PM (AEDT) Archie Roach AM, music legend and Stolen Generations survivor, is one of Australia’s most powerful songwriters and storytellers. His deeply personal song stories and more recently his books, Tell Me Why and Took the Children Away, shed light on the devastating government policies that still impact thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their families. The Archie Roach Stolen Generations resources were created during COVID-19 by Culture Is Life, in collaboration with the Archie Roach Foundation, to honour the 30th anniversary of Took the Children Away from Uncle Archie’s multi-award-winning 1990 debut album Charcoal Lane.

Fluoridation roll out for South-West communities
The South-West communities of Bunbury and Dalyellup will have fluoridated drinking water on tap by 2023.
This follows the setting of fluoridation target dates of June 2022 for Dalyellup and June 2023 for Bunbury.
It also follows water fluoridation in November, of neighbouring communities, Eaton and Australind, as well as Burekup, Brunswick Junction, Roelands and Pelican Point.
Supplementation of the communities’ water supplies with the tooth-strengthening mineral is part of a broad long-term strategy to combat tooth decay across the State. The measure will bring the South West into line with Perth and most of the rest of Western Australia.
