As one of their members, Tony Mc Avoy, a distinguished Native Title Silk says "Not only is Australia failing to pull its weight internationally, but it's failing to ensure that the renewables boom is regulated in a manner that protects First Nations Rights and incentivises First Nations participation."We start with the resounding words of Barkindji Man Bruce Shillingsworth and the beautiful sounds of Samoan dancing. Then we hear about the Loss and damage negotiations in Glasgow with Siobhan Mc Donnel and the youth voice at Cop 26 from Global Voices.
