The management of the Gadigal Information Service Aboriginal Corporation, better known as Koori Radio, have been accused of abandoning the organisation s core values in an open letter.
The letter, addressed to the board, describes the station s mission statement as facilitating supportive, compassionate, and vibrant First Nations services for the greater community , as well as wanting to provide the best platforms possible for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices . Under the current management, these core values do not exist today.
Posted on the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance website, the sortie is signed by current and former station employees, volunteers and members.

The 26th of January is almost upon us and for Aboriginal peoples, Invasion Day is not a day of celebration, but a day of mourning and commemoration of survival.
2021 marks 251 years since James Cook landed on the lands of the Eora peoples, and the Europeans’ colonisation and attempted genocide of Aboriginal peoples began. Whether you’re a settler or First Nations, the 26th of January is a day to stand in solidarity and in mourning with the Aboriginal peoples whose stolen lands we all live on. It is a day to learn, to survive, to stand up, and most importantly, to listen.
