BONUS EP - Change the date with Karla Grant

Australia Day, Invasion Day, Survival Day. Today is a day that has come to be known by many different names

Each year on Jan 26th questions are raised (as they should be), can we really drink to national pride on a day that carries so much trauma, grief and suffering for our First Nations people?

On today's very special bonus episode we will not be celebrating Australia Day, instead we are sitting down to speak with proud First Nations woman Kalra Gant from Arrernte country. Karla has dedicated a huge part of her career to working in Indigenous news and current affairs, witnessing and reporting on the shifts in policy towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

Karla has spent the last 18 years presenting and producing Living Black, Australia’s longest running Indigenous current affairs television program, further demonstrating her commitment to giving Indigenous people a voice. On this episode Karla shares with us her story and why we need to change the date.
