Happy NAIDOC week! This year’s theme is Heal Country. Healing Country is all about understanding, appreciating and respecting the lands we live on and the responsibilities of traditional custodianship. It is about reflecting on what was taken and what must be done to set things right.
There are plenty non-Indigenous allies can do to help First Nations people heal like supporting First Nations owned businesses, donating to Indigenous funds and charities, and educating yourself about First Nations peoples.

NITV’s newest commission History Bites Back presents a modern take on history that dares to poke fun at the establishment and challenge the status quo of the prevailing historical narrative of Australia.
The one-hour special is directed, written and presented by Trisha Morton-Thomas alongside Craig Anderson, and it stars Steven Oliver and Elaine Crombie.
The all-star cast comes together to bite back at negative, real-life social media commentary and steers the conversation towards the historical context of the fortunes and misfortunes of First Nations people - from social security, citizenship and equal wages, to nuclear bombs and civil actions.
