If I’m not there to argue for my people, who will?
I’m Yvonne — a Kalkadoon woman from Mount Isa. I work with Child Safety out here in child protection.
I am asking - what decisions will be made without an Aboriginal voice in the room?
I advocate for and on behalf of our people, so they can get a fair go and equal rights in the system.
Too often, the people making decisions about our families haven’t even been out to visit the communities they’re deciding for. Yet they’re still making those decisions — and it’s 2025.
We’re a little forgotten area out here, and our people are always left behind.
I keep going back because if I’m not there to argue for my people, who will argue for them?
