aaarrgghhh... Kado starts to ramble on about the Voice, flailing heritage laws, diverted reconciliation and life generally. hope you enjoy.

In this episode, I respond to some listener queries about how they should vote on the Voice. My first point is that your vote is precious, it is a fundamental part of our democracy and you need to vote as your conscience dictates, and yes, we'll done for seeking to educate yourself. The next step is to then understand how and where the campaign for the Voice comes from. These are my views, and I hope it helps you make your decision on how to cast your vote as a thinking conscious individual exercising your democratic freedom. Vote as your conscious demands, but be informed.

Carto Nullius
In this episode I introduce the concept of Carto Nullius, which is strictly not linguistically correct but a play on the latin terms terra nullius, a term that for so long was used to marginalise and dispossess Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It is my contention that cartography as a discipline has for a long time been empty of even very general traditional Aboriginal knowledge.
The global renaissance of mapping technology, remote observations and need for data is an emerging sector that would be enhanced and strengthened by exposure to, partnership with and interpretation of traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge inputs.
