| Summary |
It's a controversial plan: the Federal Government hopes to to store nuclear waste on Northern Territory Aboriginal land in exchange for millions of dollars in funding. It's dividing the community and stirring up debate on who has the right to determine the land's future. In the remote West Australian community of Oombulgurri, a coronial report into five local suicides identified problems plaguing the town. Following reports of alcoholism and abuse, the State Government looks set to close the community. But not everyone wants to leave. In Melbourne, we take a look at one of Australia's first exports: the thriving trade in Trepang or sea cucumber that once existed between China and Aboriginal communities of the Top End.Plus: we talk to Deadly nominee, netballer Tanisha Stanton, and meet singer/songwriter PJ Gordon in the second installment of our music series |
