Included, but still marginalised: Indigenous voices still missing in media stories on Indigenous affairs

Since the British invasion of Gadigal land at Sydney Cove in 1788, race relations in Australia have been underscored by what Wiradjuri writer Jack Gibson describes as the “supremeness of whiteness”. Narratives of Indigenous inferiority and deficiency, combined with paternalistic policies, have produced a cultural climate where non-Indigenous voices have often dominated debate on matters of concern and importance to Indigenous communities. However, in recent years, Indigenous journalists and storytellers have sought to change this. The Uluru Statement From the Heart calls for a process of truth-telling. And as the Black Lives Matter movement has grown, some media organisations are recognising the need to deal with their histories of racist representations. In 2020, for example, the Stuff Group in New Zealand apologised for its racist and exclusionary depictions of Māori over decades.

Blaktivism, McArthur River mine, and Baker Boy with INXS: The Point recap

McARTHUR RIVER MINE Reporter Keira Jenkins travelled to Borroloola and the land nearly 100km south of Darwin on which mining giant Glencore’s McArthur River mine continues to make controversy, with traditional owners facing the poisoning of their water and wildlife. “It is like a garden to Aboriginal people,” said Garawa elder Jack Green, who is now too scared of lead poisoning to fish in the river. Locals say the lead and zinc mine has had an enormous impact and warn that even after it closes the environmental impact will need to be monitored for 1000 years. Elder Josie Davey says: “I’m really worried about the mine, what they’ve done is not right. It’s my great-grandfather’s country and it hurts so much that I can’t even take my kids back there no more.”
